Authentic 1985 U.S. Air Force cadet or ROTC-style bomber jacket in bold cadet blue with ribbed black cuffs and waistband. Features a chenille “AF” varsity-style patch, embroidered name tag reading “BURLEIGH,” and multiple detailed patches including a Blackjack “21” emblem and a sleeve patch marked “85.” Fully lined in black satin for comfort and warmth.
The metal Scovill GRIPPER zipper works smoothly, and the heavyweight outer shell holds structure well. One underarm area has a visible tear and signs of prior stitching repair (see photo), but the jacket remains wearable and visually striking.
This is a standout vintage piece for military, gambling, or patch collectors.
Best fits size medium — please refer to measurements:
