    I have a Navy Flight Jacket from 1972. I was a Marine and on Liberty in San Diego in 1972. Had a Naval Officer start hassling me and my buddy on the street, because we did not salute. We were all in uniform. My buddy told the officer and his buddies to F off.

    The Officer took his jacket off and told us he was going to kick our butts. 15 seconds later, I picked his Jacket off the ground and kept it as a Souvenir. 4 Naval Officers are no match for 2 Marine Pfc's.

    My daughter uses the jacket when she rides on the back of my motorcycle. I haven't been able to fit in it for over 20 years.

    Wow, you guys have some really interesting clothing items in your possession.

    Also, I just remembered that I have had a hoodie belonging to a meth dealer in the back of my closet for like the last year. I've thought of getting rid of it, but that's not really something I want to contend with in case someone ever asks me about it(doubt that will happen) and wants it back. Lol. Fairly certain no one will ever remember what happened to it.

    For the record, I have never and will never do meth. It was the dealer of a girlfriend of mine. I also did not know until a while later that the guy was indeed her dealer, and I didn't find that out from her. Go figure. Meth addicts aren't the most honest bunch...

    Because it's the traditional garb of Qartheen ladies and I am the Mother of Dragons.

    My 80 something year old grandma discovered I was into vintage clothing so gave me some (unworn!) vintage foundation garments that she had squirreled away decades ago. Big spanx styled underwear.

    Literally, grandma underpants.
