"But perhaps it is not "the" red wool jac-shirt referred to in the Insignia Guide. The question, then, would be what patches one may put on it, if any. Does the Insignia Guide allow or prohibit the placement of patches on non-uniform garments?"
Then again, the next question is, even IF there is a standard for the red jackets...what if you don't abide by it? In my mind, it simply becomes a non-uniform garment. Most leaders in our district use the red jackets as bragging vests, patches all over the back, etc...I don't know about most of you, but I wear jackets a lot more than I wear vests
