And here it is:
The black leather jackets for sailors who have earned their SWO pins, announced in January, are now available for order.

My big question, is it warm? And is there a suitably cut version for women?
DH loved his I’ve-flown-there brown leather flight jacket with patches in that style but secretly confessed his green one was insulated and a lot warmer.
I loved my woolly-pully sweater with shoulderboards, the one that was actual wool and not instant-pill acrylic. And my officer reefer, which quite handily keeps your butt warm and has that big collar to turn up against the wind. After I retired, I took the officer gold buttons off and replaced them with plain ones, except for one officer button hidden away, out of sight, under the collar. I still wear it on cold windy days. It oozes salt.
