This week, I lugged out of the basement....my last duffle-bag from the military years. Containing? Well....my two fatigue-jackets (1977 and 1994).
I put them through the washer, and will sell them at a flea-market in July.
When the Air Force issued my first fatigue-jacket....boot-camp (1977)....I looked at it and asked how it'd keep you warm. It wasn't that thick, and it was mostly heavy-duty green cloth. Sarge said I'd get a 'liner' at the first duty-station. The 'liner'? Mostly a cheap-made vest that you'd button into the fatigue-jacket.
Eventually, someone led me around to high-quality non-military vest-liners, and I'd get a lecture about this article of the uniform not being military-issue.
Eventually in the mid-1990s.....the Gore-Tex jacket came out....I ended up spending $140 for it, and it literally filled every possible need in winter months.
So I'm disposing of that 'era'. Anyone bidding 5 Euro gets one (of the two). At that point, other than a 1980s helmet....I'm done with uniform items.
