Hi there...
I'm currently in Miami for a couple of days and I've bought a fine leather jacket. I plan to put on it SSN Squadron patches. Found some in sites like Soldier City and www.flyingtigerssurplus.com but most of them are just shoulder patches.
I need to find out where is a good place they sell the bigger patches for the back of the jacket. WWII and modern era...
Any help is welcome thanks a lot.

Those aren't shoulder patches. The Navy doesn't have shoulder command patches like the Army does.
These would be the shoulder patches that we wear. http://www.google.com/imgres?q=USS+Kentucky+command+rocker+patch&hl=en&biw=1024&bih=596&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=fTOkM-aXBqc4MM:&imgrefurl=http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php%3Fshowtopic%3D79330&docid=3mcpcohNYGweNM&w=690&h=521&ei=VRyTTp-FN9KEsgKj8bDJAQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=394&vpy=267&dur=1015&hovh=195&hovw=258&tx=132&ty=93&page=1&tbnh=114&tbnw=151&start=0&ndsp=16&ved=1t:429,r:7,s:0

I've seen some sailors wearing U.S. flags and ship's crests on their coverall utility working uniforms. I'm not sure about NWUs, though, as the USN/DoN have been strict on uniform regs regarding these utilities, as they have been on others in the past.

thank you all,
I was trying to get the dolphins pin on the back of a jacket, embroidered patch but there isn't any. I think is not a Navy tradition as to Air Force'. Anyway I will try to make a custom one.
