USN Cold War Destroyerman's Cruise Jacket

[36-tex]

I bought this for the patches, but I think I will leave it as is. I think it may have belonged to a Native American. COST: $25.00

This is a nice example. These are getting harder to find with this number of patches on it. I think leaving it together is the right thing... it tells the story of a career.

The Tiger patch was just a cool patch that guys liked to have. You could also sometimes find them under the collar of blue jumpers. Them and Eagles. I had an eagle, much like liberty cuffs.
