I'm not trying to sell any of these. It's a trip down memory lane. I've said before, I was an industrial machine fixer before I enlisted. The last civilian job I had was with Burlington, in the weave mill in Raeford NC. In that mill there was a room with only one loom in it. That loom ran the army green nomex fabric for the flight jackets. It had to be isolated to be sure there was no contamination from outside sources. There were also a couple of looms that were running the green wool fabric for the class A Uniform of the time. The military fabrics were not allowed to have any imperfections. We ran a lot of other fabrics also but the QC was as stringent. somebody might find this interesting.

My late father and I each have one. I outgrew mine many years ago. It’s somewhere in my attic. I remember a friend of mine who did 3 tours as a gunship pilot in Nam talking about clothing catching on fire. He was shot down 8 times.

I worked for Federal Prison Industries, or UNICOR, and we manufactured quite a few things for the military. Many inmates were very much invested in making great products.
