Jorge is a respected member of the forum who, in the past, has been kind enough to share excellent photographs and details of some of his jackets.

 

[Silver Surfer]

and, often as not, he has the best of the best.

 

[mulceber]

Yep, I'm not gonna blame Jorge. He's been very generous in sharing excellent photographs and details about his jackets on here. If some hedge fund manager with a passion for WW2 kit wants to spend 5 figures, I won't fault Jorge for selling it at that price.

Also, plutonium for his DeLorean isn't cheap or easy to come by.

 

[Skyhawk]

Yes he must have made another trip back recently. He has shown up with so many mint jackets here, he must be time traveling. He's got the goods. Now he just needs to hook up with a lottery winner.
