More power to ya but I could not get away with wearing that jacket in the USA without being heavily questioned. I already get questioned about my N1 and it doesn’t even have patches or names on it besides the USN emblem!

^^Nah, those are hot rod club patches. 

I wouldn't wear anything that says Army/Navy/Air Force/Marines tho. That's just asking for trouble, especially Marines...

All of those patches are military.  Jolly Rogers is US Navy aviation.  They’re still active.

Ah, thanks for the knowledge. I was looking at the back of the jacket in a google image search. So, yeah, I agree -- active military patches are kind of a no-go zone. My friends who served are rightfully protective of their units and branches. Especially the Marines.:mellow:

Having said that, obviously anyone can wear what they want, and there's a certain satisfying subversion in wearing military gear, for example as a protest or playing with the martial style.

Out of interest, what are you questioned on?

The buzz deck jacket I wear has the USN emblem so usually I’m asked if I served or “thank you for your service” remarks (or discounts on purchases) when I’m out and about by random strangers.  Overall, most ask where I got it from.

In the US, the only time you can get into serious trouble is if you make a profit off of it while pretending you are active duty or veteran.
