My previous light work jacket for years has been this 80's USN utility jacket my uncle gave me 20 years ago when I was a kid.
It's been a great jacket that handles everything I can throw at it as a truck stop maintenance worker, but as much as I love the jacket it's time to retire it.
The ends of the sleeves have be wearing through for a few years, but they're getting worse.
A year and a half ago the zipper pull broke and I hastily bought a work jacket at the hardware store on my way home that day to replace it.
I soon discovered that the fit / cut of the new jacket didn't allow for much arm mobility which I really disliked, so I decided to fix the zipper pull on my old USN utility and keep wearing it as long as my fix would last.
Yesterday I got an email from All American Clothing company ( a great retailer) about their " new " 12oz canvas work jacket and I liked what I saw so I ordered one.
