deand said:Jim, my observations on pricing on ebay for 36/P's are that Large goes for the most money, XL next, medium/small lowest, not surprisingly, but the pricing in actual dollars is really, really rolller coasting. Mint of course gets the best prices, but $300 or more just seems, well, high. I wonder if the VLJ is driving interest in these jackets reflected in pricing, or is this just part of the natural evolution in cost as the jackets become available over time, becoming more collectable as time passes.

In the past couple of years, I've bought two CWU-45/Ps for 99 cents apiece and one CWU-36/P for $9.99. Just last week I bought another CWU-45/P, in excellent condition, for $29.00. I was the only bidder. During the same time period I was seeing other Nomex jackets going for $150.00 and up.

Great pick up. Your Nylon is growing fast....I like it
-36p is a nice everyday wear. Warm yet not overwhelming like the -45p can be. But they are still the 2 jackets I wear daily. Just love them.
Nice hat too by the way!
-enjoy

Beside being a great Jeep ad photo, that's a very nice picture! That 36/P sure has a comfortable look to it, not too tight, or too short, as some other nylon can tend to be. dean

Does anyone else find the stated sizes on the CWU-45 and 36 way off? Large (42-44) should be my ideal but is really just that bit too snug. X-large ( 46-48) ought to be massive, but fits just right. I know they're meant to be close fitting, but have I just been unlucky with what I have? (I'm normally good with any 44" jacket) Although the labels state they're OK for either dry cleaning or laundry, is one method more preferable in the long run? Thanks for any advice.
