Post by: AirForce7 on September 25, 2019, 05:56:35 PM

Neither of those are the Air Force Lightweight Jacket, so they are absolutely not compliant. Here is one example on eBay (there are many more) https://www.ebay.com/itm/US-AIR-FORCE-MENS-46R-USAF-JACKET-NO-LINER-LIGHTWEIGHT-SERVICE-DRESS-BLUE-NNL/202785431855?hash=item2f36f4212f:g:UK8AAOSwrzBdiMXh (https://www.ebay.com/itm/US-AIR-FORCE-MENS-46R-USAF-JACKET-NO-LINER-LIGHTWEIGHT-SERVICE-DRESS-BLUE-NNL/202785431855?hash=item2f36f4212f:g:UK8AAOSwrzBdiMXh).

I would get one with the liner. Check your local surplus stores as well.

Depends on where you live. I have never worn it with the liner and couldn't find it these days. Back in the day when we wore blues in the AF if we weren't flying I would wear in under my parka on the way to and from work in the winter (Plattsburgh AFB).
