The local free paper caught me and my missus on the street a couple of Saturdays ago (one of those random-guy-on-the-street interviews)... Me & She It will change next week, so no bitching about how that isn't me if you read it late.
It is definitely a military issue trench. There is a spot on the sleeve where there once was a chevron patch used to designate rank. I will see if I can get a better shot of it.
So instead of shark, you could save a few bucks and go with pork chops next time? BTW: Ulf - I called you back that night, guess you weren't by the phone. What size coat do you wear? Occasionally one of the thrift stores in the area gets a shitload of donations from the local army base, every recruit that goes AWOL gets their shit donated. Snagged a nice duffel bag, couple pairs of wool-lined leather gloves, etc... A couple weeks ago they had a shitload of those trenchcoats, too...
Hey, if you have some to let go, I'll be happy to take them form you. I will need to check the size on that trench, and I'll let you know (I am at work...so the professional leather coat takes precedent over the bomber or the trench).
LMK soon, last time I was there they had a shitload, but it's been about two weeks since then, and we had our marathon South Texas cold spell last week (got close to freezing overnight!)...
