WANTED: USAF Overcoat 42R

[NewMexExpat]

This is a little "modern" for this forum, none-the-less:

I'm looking for a USAF Dress Overcoat, issued in the 1060s and '70's, shade1549.

This is NOT the "Horseblanket"; rather, POLYESTER/WOOL SERGE, 13 OZ. BLUE 1549.

Issue for this coat ceased before I enlisted in 1982, though it was still authorized a short time thereafter. I always thought it was beautiful, and felt cheated being limited to the single breasted poly/cotton poplin all-weather coat.

Thanks and Best Regards,

- Mark

I could almost help you. I have one of the 100% wool jobs in 39R.

Like I said.... almost.:eusa_doh:
