I raise the BS flag on this!. I can't imagine HA every using an airbrush to put the colors on a jacket.
Someone is gonna get a physical or legal *** woopin' for putting on this auction. [sm=boink3.gif]

This whole thing is BS ... from the leather jacket, the painted colors ... and the special forces command flash. I also do not recall the Army ever having a Green Beret tab. The Special Forces were often referred to as the Green Berets but officially the tab they earned was Special Forces. I doubt someone that actually earned the correct patch would wear the wrong one. I'm no expert but the research I've done shows this particular special forces command flash as a new flash. This person is mighty brave selling this jacket ... or maybe just plain stupid.

The jacket is a obvious fake, and a poorly done one at that. The 5th SF used several insignia, but the most common one looked like this
or this
and the Vietnam beret flash crest looked like this

I sent the following message to Jessica:
"
Hello Jessica, What I'm about to say is meant in the best intensions. You really should think twice about selling items such as this. The Hells Angels have committed violent acts to people for doing far less offenses than what you’re doing here. Anyone belonging to the HA would never wear a jacket with painted on graphics of their colors. These colors (painted on graphics that appear on the back of your listed jacket) are revered and honored by them. I doubt very seriously they would even let them belong to anyone who wasn't a patch holder. Anyone wearing this jacket without earning these colors could be at risk if they actually encounter a member of the HA, anyone who supports them, or another rival gang member. I personally wouldn’t want that responsibility hanging over my head by selling this to unknown customer."
