New jacket coming out soon in Ship's Store

[Michael Dobson]

Thanks to Gary Hamel's initial creation, there is a new jacket soon to be released. I did a small amount of modification and have had it embroidered on the back of a nice jacket that is long waisted and nice enough to wear for dress .  Each jacket will have the option to have personalized info on the left breast also. My jacket has "Mike Dobson AE-2,  Det 1 Doorgunner, 1970-71   "           this will also make it a lot easier to get a jacket back to the proper owner -----    pictures and price will soon be appearing here in the forum and on the merchandise form

I like the jacket Mike However the words that are in black might show up better if they were a brighter color.
Just one mans opinion.

[Howard Jacobs ROH]

Will you have any of the jackets at the reunion to try on for size?

[Michael Dobson]

I will have some there ------   but obviously, if you want the front done (and I recommend it) it will have to be returned to my resource here

[Ralph Greg Skelton]

Hi Mike, I am very interested in the new Jacket. Just one question is how heavy is it? Living in North Florida A light jacket is useful.

[Michael Dobson]

Greg, the jacket is what I would call a "Fall" weight ----- it is not a windbreaker style or a severe cold weight ---- I would call it a 30 degree coat with a length down to my crotch --- (6" below my belt) --- it is collared not hooded -----   I went to a 2x for myself ---- I am normally a XL but am leaning to the 2x now days

   2 X comes with age and Serenity maybe senility..

[Gary Hamel]

Thanks Mike for using the logo in such a great way.  Glad you could use it

[Howard Jacobs ROH]

I don't mind waiting for the jacket... I would like to try one on for size to make sure it will fit. I would not be happy if I picked the wrong size after having the work done on it and I can't wear it.  

See you in San Diego!

[Ralph Greg Skelton]

Sounds just what I will need for these cool nights, i'll need a 1x as i'm on a crash diet. I'm looking forward to ordering as soon as comes available. Thanks for doing your usual great job.

[Gene Parejko]

Mike any idea what the cost will be.

[Michael Dobson]

Working on that now ------    Gary Ely will help set the price on this

Hello Pat,

I believe you are correct about the black color.  The Seawolf patches I have use a lighter blue for the wolf and could also be used for the lettering.  The lighter blue would really "pop" and be so much more visible.  The Blue Angel blue might be just a tad too light, but close.  Other thoughts?


Seawolf

you have to remember, the lighting wasn't exactly up to photo quality so it does look dark --- not nearly as bad in person

[Rick Meussner]

Mike,

If the pattern is not locked in, could the word "SEAWOLVES" maybe a bit larger, or stand out more. My opinion is that "SEAWOLVES" is the most important word on the jacket...

[Paul Conk]

United States as well as Vietnam/ 1966 - 1972 should be in Gold Thread to make them Pop out on the Black background.?

[Ralph Greg Skelton]

Mike, i received my Jacket today. Wow was that fast and great work on the left breast work. Just what I wanted. Thank you. I'll be wearing it on our flight out at 0615 out of Jax.

[Michael Dobson]

thanks Ralph !!      glad you like it !!
