Thanks very much! I didn't want to cause moral panic by posting a pic of the underside!

Bloody oath. Great stuff all around.

Yay! I'm not the only one with animal bones.

I would like to know where the 'Lucky rabbits foot' legend comes from. Not so lucky for a rabbit

Fashionable late to this party, but I wanted to share mine.

Firstly, dice on my G-1 (thanks bn1966).

Secondly, I have a vintage sterling silver Hula girl on my LW G-1.

Finally, I have a Japanese lady doing something naughty in the bath on another G-1.

Those are quite nice! I'm having an issue with my new Vanson PLU-3 jacket: the pull tab keeps sinking below the leather edges and can be a bit difficult to grab while wearing gloves.
As much as I would love to have a naughty Japanese lady hanging from my zipper, I think going with the drilled dice might just be the ticket for the jacket. Thanks for posting all the zipper-pulls up.

Big J, I imagine some of the naval aviators stationed in Japan would have probably been equally sentimental about your lady.

Outstanding.

Outstanding.

Paddy used to do the bomb tags, they come up on the bay occasionally.

Anyone know anything about this? Looks like a 15th AAF talisman. One side has 15 star, as you can see,

And Capri 1945 on the other side.

Cheers, Johnny Tee

This thread is becoming another SIGGY patch ad..it seems..rather than what members have found to add to their jackets...:eusa_doh:

 

[SIGGY]

hey the patches were "added" to the veterans A-2 jacket , what's wrong with showing photos of them ..............
I don't see any difference in those than the other items , still part of a jacket right.........

I can see what the Daddy is getting at though. Rather than what is on 'Your' Jackets you tend to post lots of patches you have made. Why not start a topic just for patches? I would then post mine into it.
What the 'Plumb', my jacket and Big J show though are what we use as talismans or whatever but they are attached to our own jackets.
Got a pic of one of your jackets with a charm or patch on it? Post away
