Hi

Just got my USMC HBT suit and US Airborne jumpsuit but need the badges for that finishing touch. Can someone point me at a good site to buy them?

Also a reference site or pics so I know where to sew them out would be great as well. I'm thinking 82nd PFC Germany 1945 for the para and Okinawa '45 for the USMC with Sgt stripes... But I am open to suggestions!

Tnx in advance

HB

SOF will do the 82nd Patch and the PFC stripes, you'll want the gold on blue for your jump suit, and the 82nd patch thats mounted onto material already, it sits 'flush; with your jacket then.

Marines didnt wear insignia on their battledress, only on dress uniforms.

Learn to sew, useful soldiers skill.

Its a requirement to be able to keep your uniform servicable in the field, its why most squaddies for centuries have carried a 'Hussif' (housewife), a small sewing kit with thread, patches of uniform cloth and spare buttons.
