Browncoat found -- Thrift stores rule!

Went on a serious Browncoat hunt yesterday -- determined to find something.

At army suprlus store, they had nice new ones for $50 but they were only in black.

Made the rounds of the Thrift stores (bikin' it in the heat at that -- now that's obsession, gorramnit!

Found severtal "do-ables" but they were either too heavy (as in actual military longcoats) or the wrong color or both.

Finally found a light one, ends just above the knee, with a shiny'ness to it that is unique -- kinda like me.

Anyway, it's a perfect fit (42-R), plus with a "look" that is a deep brown so's other Browncoats will spot it as a Browncoat, plus the ignint won't be thinking I'm some wacko perv is a mangy trenchcoat. Fashionably understated and stylish -- gotta find somebody with a digital camera to get some pics for y'all. A

Anyway, thrift stores are definitely the way to go for cheap. Paid just over $18 including tax.
