      I collected my August Fifteenth, 8.15, A2 Deck Jacket from Ceeflair Embroidery & printing today after getting U.S.N. embroided above the breast pocket.

      A few emails later, posting the jacket to Ceeflair, waiting a few days and collecting it today. Here are the results and I have to say that I am super stoked with the outcome.

              After the successful modification by CeeFlair Clothing & Embroidery to my August Fifteenth A2 Deck Jacket where I had U.S.N. embroidered above the breast pocket I felt ready to explore more. Whilst (unsuccessfully) searching for stencils I found this stencil template and Ceeflair provided me with this emboidery sample so my jacket is now with them having this new piece of emboidery added to the top of my right arm. Photo to follow upon receipt of jacket;

                Whilst on a repair & modification journey I decided to add some badges to my USAAF Type B-15 Jacket. The jacket, as standard, comes with an "Army Air Forces" print at the top of the left arm. I have purchased three badges and am waiting for them to be stitched to the jacket in the positions shown below;

                    @den1mhead Great examples of how cool well thought out and executed personal modifications can be. I consider this kind of thing regularly but don't feel like I have the eye for it.

                      Cheers peeps. When I was in the RAF patches were important for identification purposes as name, rank and squadron were all necessary and present on your flying suit. The embroidery comes with a bit more risk and reward due to its increased level of permanence.

                        It only took me 3 years and a pandemic to get around to sewing this on my backpack.

                          Ha… same. I have a small stash of excellent virgin patches that I have had plans for. Some of them have been in the drawers for four or five years.

                            Received my August Fifteenth A2 Deck Jacket back from CeeFlair Clothing & Embroidery today with a second piece of embroidery added to the original U.S.N. piece that they did for me two weeks ago. Really happy with the second piece and think it works really well with the U.S.N. To say I was originally going down the stencil route, but was unable to source anything suitable, I am over the moon with the outcome;

                              My pair of 666-XHS jeans are starting to develop a hole in the crotch.  Should I worry about it or just wear them until it gets worse?

                              Here are two pictures of what I am seeing:

                                Since they’re XHS,maybe wear them until the Summer and then see about getting them repaired.

                                  @goosehd - as Iron Heart offer free repairs for life I'd get them addressed sooner rather than later.

                                    I’d fix that straight away, it won’t get smaller. If you do it yourself then check the whole area for thinning, then apply a piece of denim that covers that area and not just the hole.

                                      I think i'd be tempted to darn that/get it darned as soon as.  A stitch in time and all that…...

                                            I have just ordered three patches to embellish my IHM-13-KHA, Khaki Cotton Satin Thinsulate CWU-45P Type Flight Jacket. Patches A,B & C will be stitched to locations A,B & C on the jacket. A photo to follow after receipt of patches and completion of stitch work.
