PFA Ken Posted September 10, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 10, 2020 Hi! Just picked up a 70s jacket with these patches. What do you think? Looks legit? Link to post Share on other sites
MilitaryPicker1941 Posted September 10, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 10, 2020 Looks good to me.

Thanks all ! 1964 I know they're Japanese made from buying them (in Japan) wearing them, and collecting them for the past 50 years Anchor's Aweigh Member National Association of Fleet Tug Sailors - The Salvage Navy!

18-Echo Posted September 11, 2020 Share #6 Posted September 11, 2020 One “clue” to look for is “cornrow embroidery” as it is sometimes called. It can be seen clearly in the blue background of the third patch. It’s a hallmark of Japanese patches - but not always as evidenced by the very first patch posted. But it is a clue to narrow things down. Link to post Share on other sites
busternfo Posted September 12, 2020 Share #7 Posted September 12, 2020 Would these patches be considered "cut edge"? Link to post Share on other sites
