FINALLY:USN DECK COAT


I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR A WWII, US NAVY DECK COAT FOR SOME TIME AND HAVE BEEN TEASED BY SOME PUBLISHED BEAUTIES. (CHECK OUT MY RUGGED 211 BY MINORU ONOZATO, OF FREE & EASY FAME.) MY RECENT TRIP TO MIAMI BEFORE XMAS PRODUCED THIS CHARMER. BEAUTIFUL WEAR AND ALPACA LINED. I'M HOLDING ON TO THIS ONE.
