Hi,

Mike Cox will win it anyway, but if he somehow forgets to enter the
competition here's your chance to win an exact reproduction of the
war's most famous jacket -- the Eastman Leather Clothing's 352d
Fighter Group World War II leather A-2 flight jacket.

US residents only which is a shame and will earn them my scorn - and a
flame-mail - but don't let that stop you

Greetz,

Eddy Sterckx

it?

Cripes. Except for expedition-weight stuff, the only bit of clothing
I've ever seen that cost a thousand bucks or more was my wife's wedding
dress.
