All hail the once and future king! HAIL! HAIL!
I'll admit, I was not turned to the Cult of the Fleck by KommandoStore. I bought one of these 10 years ago, from a place I don't even recall - and have used it, nearly 3/4 seasons, for those 10 years. Alas, after such extended service, my original 1994 stock was starting to show some wear, fraying around the cuffs and hood and pockets... Still in a patchable state, but I figured I would see if they were still available.
KommandoStore delivered. (At roughly the same price I remember paying for it years ago, too!)
After doing a bit of math, considering my life choices, factoring in my expected lifespan...I naturally purchased three additional parkas, to cover me for another 30 years! It's kind of amazing how the original has faded compared to the 'new' (old) ones. They're all pre-2005, so the colors should be the same... But time (and the giant atomic furnace we relentlessly orbit) are nearly as astounding as surplus, and take their toll.
Oh, and I got a 2-cent Euro in the pocket of one, and a German salt packet in the pocket of another! Score!
