Vietnam Vets Embroidered Jacket

Talked to a fella today at the store. I asked where he had this done, he said the first one was done in Vietnam. But his wife recreated it for him. She did all the work herself.  Pretty impressive.  Had dragons down the sleeves, should had taken pics of it all. Thanked him for his service and said to tell his wife she did an awesome job.

Ran into he again, but his wife was wife him. She told me it took a week to do the helicopter,  and 2 weeks to do the dragons. Dang I still forgot to get a Pic of them! Next time...  he said the ones he had made in Vietnam shrunk, then smiled at me.  I said I've had the same problem with my clothes through the years.
