I know I have no desire to wear any of mine. Gotta keep the
collectors in mind Andrew!
Peter Graham said:I wear an original WW2 jacket every day of the week. I rotate the jackets to minimize damage but I'm aware that damage occurs. I've practically worn out a mint N-1 deck jacket but that's what I buy them for. In my size originals are cheaper than repros. I've bought jackets that are too valuable or delicate to wear but I don't have anywhere to display them so I've sold them. I understand where you guys are coming from but if I could afford the jackets in this thread I would wear them too. Does this make me a bad person ?
