Marine Corps Jacket
The Military look is huge this year. I love it ...one problem. Most of the garments are constructed with Army issue fabric. My son is a SGT in the U.S Marine Corps. I went on a quest to find "Desert Digital" fabric. This is the Marine Corps actual fabric used in contructing uniforms. After several weeks, I found the fabric at a army/navy store in Vermont. The jacket if fully lined and finished using bridal lace, silk, heavy duty twill tape. The SGT stripes are painted on ultra suede and top stitched to the garment. My son was thrilled. I can now wear a great jacket and celebrate my pride for my sons service.
