Looks nice and has worked well. Also, I had a seamstress add a button to the cuff for a snugger fit around the wrist. Don't need the liner.
Did the same (velcro strip) with the Gibson and Barnes jacket. One patch has my metal wings, another a Coors Light logo (for the layover quick change). Works great.
