Mine are beat up, and died black, but more then once, I had to change the beat up, broke, shredded lacings, even some burn holes from welding. Oh, it needs to be polished, many, many scratches into the leather.
No more combat patrols with it, just bush cutting.
Oh, yeah, still have my blood wings, and the 82nd patch that I ETS with in 1975. "BooYa!"
