Blue Patrol Jacket

[AFS1970]

I kind of like it, precisely because of it's semi-civilian look. It is much more in line with what is worn by police and fire departments, and not that far off from what is worn by the US military. For a US based pipe band it might just be closer to our local style. I would think that because it seems a little less formal, that it might to some seem a little less like playing dress up than a full regimental uniform.

I too found Marlowe White to be quite pricey with the Ike jacket. I was looking for a black one for an old uniform and they were the only supplier I could find. I never ended up getting it.

This patrol jacket might actually be just what I was looking for a project, that does not involve pipes (as I don't play).
