Dave I believe Allan was asking for a photo of the particular style of vest he had posted.I know I have seen it dozens of times before but never take the time to save those photos.

Allan, I was wondering if these two jackets are the same as the navy kapok you posted? They certainly look similar, just trying to find some more info!

Here is one dated some time in 45. My friend said that the original owner was at the auction and confirmed that it was his and he wore it as a CB on Guam (post invasion)
