    Description

    This is a lot of 3 original Vietnam Air Force patches that most likely went on a "party suit." I say this because these 3 patches came from the same estate and were part of a lot of other patches that I was told most likely were off a party suit. A party suit was an unofficial uniform from 1967 (from the 357th Tactical Fighter Squadron of the 355th Tactical Fighter Wing, stationed at Tahkli Royal Thai Air Base). These party suits were mainly used by the fight crews themselves.
    The
    first
    patch is a
    Pacific Air Forces
    patch that still has some of the original reddish orange thread used to sew it on to the uniform. (If you look at my other eBay listings, you will see a rare party suit patch that has the identical color thread.) This patch measures 4" x 3.5". I'm not sure if this was a Thai- or even Japanese-made patch.
    The
    second
    patch is an
    Anywhere - Anytime
    patch with a wing and 4 stars. This is another patch that I have not been able to find. It was possibly custom made in Thailand. It measures 4" x 4".
    The
    third
    patch is an embroidered Army Air Force insignia patch on blue denim. It measures 2" x 4".
    This came out of a local estate in Pennsylvania with other patches that I suspect were all on the same party suit. All are on my eBay now.
