What's the font?
do you know what is this font?
The letters look like they are photographs of pipe cleaners bent into the shape of the letter.
Not a match, but it looks close to Adage Script JF by Jason Anthony Walcott [2002, JAW Fonts]
I think it resembles a blend of two scripts: Monotype Monoline Script and Fiona Script from Brassfonts. Notice the o and w loops and the r shape of the latter font. However the I is all wrong, as are the k and s shapes, but that's where Monoline Script comes in.
The shapes are not exact, but I could imagine this being a design compromise to make the embroidery lettering easier to read.

100% match with "Ravi Script," a font for an embroidery machine -- definitely not "photographs of pipe cleaners."
Still searching for a digital version that you can use as a regular desktop or web font.

Yes, I took the font pic from the jacket. (embroidery)
Yes, I think the font is Ravi Script.
Thanks Don. Its Ravi Script.

I believe that Monoline Script -- already mentioned by Mike Yanega -- has the letter forms used as the basis for much of this script. Some letters such as _f_ look almost identical, others such as _A_ or _k_ have the same basic form but have been modified to make some of the strokes more flourished. The result seems less mechanical than Monoline Script, and perhaps has improved legibility when embroidered.
