Let's talk Mandalorian Era New Republic Flight Jackets

So you all have the jacket type info provided by MJF, all the patches and sellers are below that I used if you're interested, some are sewn on some I'm waiting on;
Republic Navy
New Republic chit (Poplin) (8" x 11")
Wolf Pack (special ordered to try and match screen grab colors)
Saw G. Partisan
Ghost Crew Leather Patch
Twilight Company
Phoenix Squad, U-Wing and New Republic (all custom from different artwork and screen grabs)
U-Wing 238th Gunner Squadron
And of course the Dewback Squad which is MJF.;)

All of the venders were spot on, with no issues.
 
In the past, the costume builders used original US military patches too ... for example with this Boba Fett costume:

Check the gloves ...

The designer used camouflage patches of the 7th Army Division ...

... and United States Army Forces Command (FORSCOM)

The old pictures have no detailed visibility ... but the patches are looking that they have brownish shade.
Maybe they were colored?!

Thought I would add this Video game reference. Looks to be gray with black on the robber sleeve and shoulders. I think the band collar is supposed to be black but the artistic light reflections make it look blue.

From Star Wars: Squadrons/Pilot Cosmetics (New Republic)

New Republic Recruit Flight Suit: The New Republic Starfighter Corps' flight jacket pairs nicely with an old Alliance classic.
Never noticed this while playing, but it's interesting that the Blue Sqd. flight harness is paired with the U-Wing chest box. Personally prefer that from the normal dingy white... I am digging that jacket as well, looks like a strap running from the lower pockets around the back?
 
With new screen caps I revised the chest patches.
on the red diamond patch, I don’t think there is a gap between the blue diamond and yellow lines. In fact, the blue diamond may even overlap the yellow lines slightly. But there should be a gap where the yellow point approaches the yellow boarder. That is if you are trying to duplicate the patches.
 
On the purple and blue patch, …I think… the center blue line is slightly off center to the left. And the gap between the left and center line is a tad wider than the gap to the right.
 
Apologies if this has been posted already but I think some of you will find this new jacket interesting!
