Neat... if it wasn't for the logos... I wonder if you can order it without all the other stuff on it and throw on more accurate logos and your own nametag yourself...

That was my thought too. Too bad the back logo is reversed. I want to replace both arms patches with higher quilty patches right arm with logo and left with wisconsin gb patch. And of corse a name patch

Interesting that the Venkman patch on the jacket doesn't match the lettering style as the picture of the 4 patches at the end. In fact, that last picture looks exactly like the picture that katarra8 uses for her patches....

Got my jacket today the jacket alone is made well. Going to take the patches and replace them all. The back patch is 8 in. The collar is all right it's velcro on if you want it on. Can't wait to wear this coat out to show off when I get done with it. ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

It's worth the money. I loving the jacket. I was looking for a coat that looked like the flight suit. I was going to use a bomber jacket

So does the fur collar come velcro-attached normally or is that special ordered? Any more updates on patch removal and how it came out? How warm is it compared to say, an MA-1 bomber jacket?

The velcro was a special order. So far it's been a good warm jacket. If gets any colder might have to put on a inner coat. I will post pictures of my updated progress

Thanks for the info. I am looking forward to seeing the pics.

After looking around at the reviews, comments and all the pics I could find, I decided to go a different route, but end up in a similar location. I ordered a khaki Rothco B-15A Bomber jacket and plan to add my own patches. I will post up some pics when I get it and as I add the patches. It looks similar to the MA-1, but cotton instead of nylon, the fur collar is removable and it has the left sleeve pocket. Not sure if I am going to add the large back patch, but the right shoulder logo and nametag for sure... I plan to remove the two little leather triangle accents from the front, too.
