    Not much use out in the boonies but looks great down the boozer with a pair of 501s and some Converse Chuck Hi.

    I take it not issue but does it have any age or is it just a modern made jacket?

    I've got mine from the Navy in the mid'late 80's(blue with blue and white US Navy logo) and my Army one from the early 90's(black with black and yellow US ARMY). These were a PX purchase jacket. My Army one has my basic training unit logo on the back and a bunch of patches.

    I grew up around Marine bases in Southern California, and these were a fairly common manifestation during the 1980's and 90's. Guys would ship out, and come back with lots of trophy decorations on them (assuming they hadn't purchased similar garments in Okinawa, or wherever-- you'd see some wild stuff back then, in terms of custom embroidery). It was a status-symbol, back in the day, and as much as it was a bit trying, at the time, I must admit that I miss it.

    You got it right with "vintage." Apparently, it was my own vintage. =]
