Over the years I have had a few leather flight jackets,ELC`s A2 Roughwear,B3 repo,B3 originals,Avirex A2 (1982),a green leather A1 from I don`t know who,W&G A2 goat,Foster 55J14,and always looking for the Holy Grail so to speak,one that really is a keeper.Now that spring is in the air I am already thinking about next seasons purchase.With the currant economic problem and being taxed beyond belief,I find that my expendable income is getting less.Granted I have been gainfully employed for 39 years with the same company.But the fact of the matter is the cash flow in the household for the non essentials is slowly going by the wayside.I would enjoy putting that order in for a Goodwear A2,but the other living expenses take a precident over that notion.I have aquired a collection of many things,guns,knives,pens watches,cameras,guitars,on and on.But there is always something that I have got to have,is it a compulsion?I don`t know.I have more than enough jackets and clothing,to last the rest of my days.Damn the internet!!Anyone else in the position.Brian B Tompkins Lodge #471 SINY.
