Went to the surplus store to buy an Alpha M-65 jacket (Vietnam era military jacket). Tried the regular fit and the slim fit, and hated how they fit me :/

I always wanted one, and I am pissed that it didn’t work.

Is that in Denver? You should have them “demonstrate” a harmonica if it is.

It is, Broadway and Hampden. They have harmonicas in a case display close to the registers. Not sure what you mean by “demonstrate” them?

Well, if they still have it, there’s a machine they use to demonstrate harmonicas. It was amusing when I was a kid way back when.

Alpha Industries? They cost a pretty penny though.

$180 msrp, $135 or so street price. Sizing was way off - I wear large, and even medium was too big. I also didn't like the zipper starting way too high, and the weird flap on the sleeve end. I still love the concept, but it just wasn't for me.
