    I still have an A-2 on my "wish list" - they are simply beautiful. I especially love the 352nd FG A-2

    But i think i've made all the expensive one-off purchases i can make, for a long time! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

    Agreed on the 352nd FG A-2.

    But, for the cost of most of these jackets, I've got other things on my list that I need to pickup first: new PC, new Bass Guitar, new amp and speaker cab, new TV, new car........

    I wonder if the 'Silent Hunter' crowd lust after grubby white vests and oilskin trousers?

    I use to have a Sou'wester. There's nothing better if you have to be out in a driving rain.

    A friend of mine bought some old DDR surplus, and I got hold of an u-boat jacket. It's heavy as hell and in grey leather. I've used it for years, and the brown cow beneath is starting to show, but it's still my winter jacket. It looks a bit like this (only I'm a bit more pudgy, and don't wear a boatsman's cap, landlubber that I am):

    All I have is this plain jane ventilated Z1R motorcycle jacket. It's about 7 years old and still looks just fine.

    I wanted a more retro style with some thin stripes on it, but at the time all I had was $200 to blow on motorcycle leather.
