Peterbiltprison Posted April 7, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 7, 2014 I was shopping today at a local thrift shop and i found a flak jacket for 99.95 dollars and when I opened it up to see the date I was surprised to find that it was not even close to an American label on it it was in some eastern print. Does anyone have any information on what it might be.(i'll grab some pictures tomorrow). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefallenbuddha Posted April 8, 2014 Share #4 Posted April 8, 2014 It could also have a label for another Asian country. I have seen these jackets with Korean and Thai labels (I do not know how many other countries would have had them with labels in their respective languages).
