I used to have one or two of everthing, with the exception of a 37 Aero which I only have one of.

I just have four right now:
US Wings Horsehide A2
Aplha B15C
What Price Glory M41 Field Jacket
An Original M65 Field Jacket
I am saving my pennies so that I can buy a Good Wear A2, just haven't made up my mind which one as they all look very good.
Forgot That I also have an Original Russian Telegreika. Probably late WWII or early 50s

ELC: Cable; House A-2, 1991. G/F M422A.
RMNZ: Monarch A-2
AERO: 15142-P "Real Deal" A-2
Speiwak: A-2 reproduction that doesn't remotely resemble the original. I believe this was an attempt at a repro for them some years ago? As I recall, John Chapman had told me about this.
Bronco Original A-2 and Perry A-2 original.
Question regarding storage: The humidity is quite high most of the time in South China. I run a dehumidfier to reduce the moisture in my house. Thus far I haven't seen any mold on the jackets. The jackets are in a closet. Anyone have suggestions/ideas for proper storage?
Regards,
Don

My collection was drastically thinned last year, when virtually all my nylon jackets went to fund bass gear. Today's collection consists of:-
1962 Irvin B. Foster G-1 (probably a PX example as it has a USN spec label but no USN perforation and a 2-piece back)
1977 Greenbrier Industries CWU-45P
1997 ELC House seal steer A-2
Aero seal B-3
French repro tanker
Various other bike/leather jackets, none of any great historical interest. Although the interest remains, the urge to spend large amounts of cash on jackets appears to have left me, at least for the moment. Just as well as I haven't got any to spend!
