Title: Air Force Jacket
Post by: Todd C on February 26, 2018, 11:11:20 PM
I am looking for an Air Force DLATS Men's Blue lightweight Jacket with liner that can be worn with the CAP Class B uniform.  AAFES is out of my size (46R) and I can find them no where else.  They are still used by the Air Force so they have to be available somewhere.  Can anyone help?  I've tried countless military surplus sites as well as Vanguard.   :D

Thanks for finding this on eBay, Eclipse!  My concern is this seller is in Poland, have you ever purchased any items from him/her?  I also wonder about the shipping costs or duty incurred.  I've never purchased internationally before.  Do you have any experience?

Just a random search, but he's got 100% good karma (which doesn't always mean anything).

Mrs. Roe is probably a safer bet.

I found one @ a USAF thrift store today in 48L.
So close.

Are you a real human and not a bot?
I can try to pick one up on my next trip...
Andrews and Bolling are both within my routine trip path for meetings and stuff.

I assure you CAPLTC that I am not a bot, quite real actually.   ;D I live in the north woods of MN, our squadron covers a vast swath of wilderness from Duluth to the Canadian border.

Any assistance in this matter would be most appreciated!

Isn't this jacket still initial issue for junior officers in the Air Force?  I contacted a buddy of mine who is an active Sergeant Major in the AF, he tells me there are a number of uniform issues in the AF at the present time!

1) We don't have Sergeant Majors in the AF
2) i highly doubt there are uniform issues as your source claims
3) The lightweight blue jacket is the same regardless if you're an E1 or O6.

No offence was intended misidentifying an USAF E9, for that I apologize.  Nor was any offence intended towards the AF concerning perceived uniform issues...
My problem still remains however, and that is locating a 46 regular Lightweight Blue Jacket with liner.  An AAFES rep has been looking for a week, no luck.  Can anyone help?
