Looks just great, Thomas. If I didn’t have my patched original Foster from VR-21 in the closet, I'd also reproduce this Brubaker's jacket, especially since I always liked this movie.

i usually use coffe for the aging process - simply put it into a Cup of coffe for some minutes and afterwards let it dry under pressure (put some old newspapers or so on top for laying it flat) ...
if the effect ain't strong enough i add some more coffee with a spoon to the patch laying flat - simple procedure which works fine
some use tea like recommended by ausreenactor
unfortunately i forgot some aging on the name-badge

THX for the positive comment ...
Initially i found that very first Picture i've posted on the net not remembering it was a commercial pic for that particular movie. Then i watched the and remembered i already seen it when i was in the 20ies but back then i was not that far into our Hobby like today.
Additional to that i think the Korean-war era is simply "under represented" coz most collectors focus on WW2 but not on Korea.
The movie itself is kinda "simplifying" the world dividing it into the "nasty, filthy, evil commies" and the "clean, heroic and smart Americans. So other than for checking the flightgear, Equipment and planes which where used in the Korea conflict i do not take such movies that serious.

I am surprised none have done one up it as a commercial option before now. Patch vendors have sets for Apocalypse Now uniforms, Platoon etc for the jungle uniforms. I think there was a Top Gun patch set too.

Thomas, I really like your project, it is iconic. To me it ranks the same as V. Hilts in A-2s. Good job and well done. Bravo Zulu. I hope you find the cool weather to wear it!

I just bought a top to toe USN set up from ATF. Didn't even think about the chambray shirt as everyday wear... Looks good...

The chambray is from BRONSON - i also bought that ATF USN set with the bellbottoms and the denim Shawl-jacket complete with the chambray and the White "Donald Duck" top with the belt (top and belt are cheap crap) - the chambray that came with the ATF set is way too big for me so i might place it in the "4 sale" threads

i wear those chambrays pretty often - works even in the Office and is not as "official" as for example a White Shirt (i hate to wear those polo-Shirts at work although it is pretty common here)

Yes, in those photos you are displaying a certain menacing determined set to your jaw Thomas. Looks like you are on a mission. However, the jacket looks superbly superb.

Absolutly nice ! Seems that there still some Toko ri jackets fan here !
Here's my 1955 Foster (Yes, same year as the movie ! It's an Amend#2 7823(AER))
I did the same for my patches, that works really great ! But I also did some aging stuff on the name tag
