Reproduction Air America Uniform Items 
Recently a reproduction ground crew jacket and some flight suits started coming out of Vietnam.
- On the khaki jacket (top) the back stitching is tight and well done, there are plenty of tracks left by the sewing machine and construction is overall good but it seems to have been copied from a photo, not real jackets as many details are missing or just plain different.
- I've not seen the flight suits in close up but the wings are badly done. Interestingly, the name is that of an actual ex-AAM pilot! \
- On the white copy the lettering is thin and also looks to have been copied from a photo not a pattern.
The Vietnamese have been copying everything else so it was only a matter of time that they started on clothing. Numerous reproduction patches have already surfaced that are coming from Vietnam along with many of the reproduction lighters that surface on eBay. Given the amount of clothing left in Taiwan and RVN it's only a matter of time before a real jacket is torn apart for the pattern.
If anyone sees other reproductions please let me know and we'll catalog them here. I assume that caps will start coming also.
