TK-42134[TK] Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Hello Troopers, I was looking at a Jacket that I could put my 501st, Garrison, and FISD patches on. What do you guys use? I was thinking of getting the “Dickies Eisenhower”, but once I saw it in person, I was thinking I want to look around more. Feel free to share your thoughts, and maybe post a picture if you can.

kman[TK] Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 I really like my Dickies Eisenhower jacket. Quite popular around SoCal, since it doesn't get cold very much of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-42134[TK] Posted December 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 I was thinking that one would be nice since it is a little lighter than a regular jacket. I live in Northern California so, like your region, it doesn’t get too cold (except last night LOL). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank75139[501st] Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 I did a hooded zip up sweatshirt. Just a basic brand with no labels. Sewed a large 501st patch on the back, my garrison on the left chest and my TK ID on the other. I’m a basic guy so I didn’t need much.

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 A lot of guys here use a denim vest (no sleeves) but I prefer to use a bomber jacket, yes it does actually get cold down under For those cooler troops I let my FISD racing shirt do the talking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-42134[TK] Posted December 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 I’m extremely jealous of all those patches guys. Thanks for the pics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hupspring[TK] Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I have several jackets, including a varsity jacket, hoodies, and track jackets, but the two I use the most are the Dickies and an old jean jacket. I also use a Dickies shirt for summer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-42134[TK] Posted January 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 I ended up ordering an Unlined Eisenhower from Dickies. Thanks to all for the awesome pictures, and ideas for a jacket. Im looking forward to getting my first patch on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkydog1[501st] Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 I’m making my first jacket. Does everyone sew on patches or iron them on? I would guess sew, in case we want to swap them out or reposition them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just gives it a bit of character and makes it a bit more personal, so I like it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revlimiter[Staff] Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 Iron-on tend to fall off if accidentally placed in a drier. Sometimes in the back of the car too. I also sew mine on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 I sew on as some of the iron on sticky backing isn't very strong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
