Caleb_747 Posted January 8, 2023 Share #1 Posted January 8, 2023 So I ordere this uniform, and I’m not an expert on Army Air Force uniforms. I have an army version with a brown button right where the buckle is. Do I sew the missing ones with the gold buttons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doinworkinvans Posted January 8, 2023 Share #3 Posted January 8, 2023 That’s correct, you should be able to find one on eBay relatively easy and cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglerunner88 Posted January 9, 2023 Share #6 Posted January 9, 2023 Yes, you'll want a matching gold button sewn on the new AAC jacket where its missing. Technically, you could move the bottom gold button up from the jacket as the one under the cloth belt should be a flat plastic brown button.

Nack Posted January 11, 2023 Share #21 Posted January 11, 2023 The bottom button should be flat plastic, probably brown or green. The top three are gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan H. Posted January 11, 2023 Share #24 Posted January 11, 2023 Caleb, You should move the bottom button up to where the other one is missing. Officer's blouses had three gold buttons for closing the jacket and one brown or green plastic button that was hidden by the belt. I'll be happy to send you a plain button for your blouse. You don't need another eagle button. PM me with your address. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
268th C.A. Posted January 11, 2023 Share #25 Posted January 11, 2023 Your Jacket is correct, sew the plastic button on where the one is missing on the front. Leave all the other buttons as they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
