Thanks Dave. Why is he selling it, I hear you ask. In a word, nylon !deeb7 said:Roughwear said:Great collectable but not really a jacket to wear!
I'd wear it ... good seller too.
Meaning it, like many USN sheepskin jackets, could just fall apart?Roughwear said:Great collectable but not really a jacket to wear!

Miles, this jacket never saw service, so it wasn't exposed to salt water conditions. It seems to have been stored well, and has stood up to some recent wear, so I think it's one of the exceptions.
Last we heard, even the matching trousers were going to be worn.
