Hey all, I'm looking for a new Jacket this Winter. Locally, I was well known for my old jacket, which had obtained several hundred signatures from various people over the years.

I'm looking for something thats fairly uncommon again.

I've been thinking I'd like to get a Vintage WW2 Field Jacket type thing, or maybe something from the Korean War. I just like vintage for some reason...

Maybe I'm still trying to follow my dreams as a kid...to be an army guy.

Anyhow, any ideas as to how I could get a hold of one?

Ebay maybe?

Alright. Who knows, maybe I'll end up with more than a coat if I go there.

I'm sort of into history, to say the least.
