Curiosity question: What type of jackets are Young & Chadwick wearing? They do not look like leather, but cloth. Would they be green or brown in color?
Thx,
VL

The uniform gurus will hammer me since I don't know much on the subject but I think it's a B-15 jacket made of heavy cotton :?:

One of the interesting things about the B-10 jackets is that the slide fastener (zipper) on the front is not striaght up and down like on most jacket applications. It angles off to one side an couple of inches at the bottom, with teh top centered but the bottom off-set.
Not sure why this was so, but it is interesting and most people don't notice it unless they see one in person.
