    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I've quit buying anything. I turned 75 in August and see no further reason to accumulate "stuff/Trash" to leave for the undertaker. Have good time collecting your treasures, "youngin's". I say this with humor and good will toward all of you.

    What Pipe Tobacco Are You Smoking Today ?

    I have a nice stash of the real Field and Stream from the 1960's. I pulled a bowl full from its slumber this afternoon and smoked it in an old 1930's Kaywoodie prince. Always a treat.

    USN Deck Jackets period / repop

    It wasn't much good for extended use in heavy rain, other rainproof clothing was necessary when out in the open during rain storms. It soaked up water, became heavy and took forever to dry out. It was sufficiently warm for most of the mid and northern Pacific latitudes during most of the year...

    USN Deck Jackets period / repop

    Here is my foul weather jacket from the Vietnam War. The USN stencil on the left front and the ship's name stencil across the back have nearly faded out. I lived in this jacket for a good part of the year at sea.
