Where to Purchase Lightweight Blue Jacket?

[skippytim]

I'm looking to purchase a Lightweight Blue Jacket as described on Page 37 of the 39-1 (Uniform Standards); The only people in my squadron who have them got them from an air force base nearby, and if I could just order it online it would save a lot of hassle and 3 hours drive time both ways.

I found one on Ebay, but I'd rather purchase a new one from somewhere trusted. I just flat out don't trust ebay with anything as important as CAP.

Thanks for any help.

AAFES or MCSS is the only place yo can get one new.

They jacked the price up on it... I paid 75ish a year or so ago when I bought mine from UDC.  No, you can't buy yours from UDC... I'm special.

I got mine at MCSS at Barksdale AFB about a year ago, but it was only about $60.00...

$94.30 now through UDC.  Just updated the pricing last month.

Is that why i feel greasy everytime i order from them?

The cheapest source for these is Old Lincoln County ( www.olcnet.com )

The ones they sell are used but in good condition. I bought mine there and it's fine.

Wish they had some more sizes available. But I guess when you're dealing with used / surplus, you take what you can get...

I got one from a surplus dealer on eBay, for about $18-20 including shipping. They listed it as in "good" condition, and I figured it was worth a try.  It arrived and I would classify it as "excellent" condition.  I am very happy to wear it as part of my CAP uniform.

One heads-up -- for this jacket, you'll need the velcro grade insignia.  The epaulets on this jacket are sewed down on both ends, so the slip-on insignia won't work.

If it's khaki or black then it's not blue anymore

Which would matter if I were inquiring about it to wear with my CAP uniform. Im looking for a khaki or black on to wear with IMERT uniforms.

But if it was black then we could wear it with the TPU.
