I HAVE A SIMILAR MOBILGAS CAP THAT IS A REPRO. DON'T KNOW IF THEY MADE REPRO D-X CAPS OR EVEN JACKETS OR IF SOMEBODY JUST TOOK A D-X PATCH AND MATED THEM WITH N.O.S. OR NEW JACKETS AND CAPS.

I dunno if I'm the only one...
These types of things always bother me because there's just not a good, clear-cut way to tell. Those patches are a dime a dozen, especially the 57-up variety. I'd check the labels on the jacket and hats to see if they look old (and where they're made) but even that isn't a sure bet. Like Doc said, an old or NOS item of clothing could have the patches sewn on at any time. The bad thing about these is that even back in the day, they were probably made by so many uniform companies, suppliers, and station owners that there's no real consistency.
I only have one gas station uniform shirt with a patch, and considering where it came from, I'm 99% confident in its originality. Too bad it's a dang Texaco...

I used to rent my men's Shell uniforms from Unitog back in the 1970s. They are still in business, but under another name.

The Dick's Auto Service stitching is period-correct. Unfortunately, I can't tell the age of cloth w/o handling it. Does it have the tag telling the fiber content?
The larger size would be worth more. When I see the jackets at Peotone, I don't see many of a size that people tend to be nowdays. Of course, it doesn't matter for a display.
