My only issue with this is Andy and Bax is the ONLY military surplus store left in the Portland area. There used to be two others, one by Mt. Scott on 82nd Avenue and another in Damascus that used to have an old Huey helicopter that had been shot down at some point in time. (There were bullet holes near the tail rotor.) My fear, considering they are a cherished childhood memory of mine, is them someday going out of business due to the gentrification of this city. So many of my favorite childhood place have disappeared as Portland has become such a popular destination for people to move to. If you come to Portland, PLEASE support Andy & Bax.

Give me a nice N-1 flight deck jacket from Spiewak (Golden Fleece) and I'll never be cold again. They're made in the U.S.A., too! They're O.D. with heavy duty zip w/button over flap. They're fleece lined in the body and have an inner sleeve that grips your wrist to keep wind out when you're on your cycle. Made from HEAVY duk canvass that's treated to be water proof. I've ridden many a cold mile wearing one of these and they're PERFECT! They'll last you 20 plus years. They aren't cheap nor should they be. If you want to see them in action look at any movie about aircraft carriers and you'll see the sailors on the deck wearing them. These are just great jackets. Don't buy an imitation, either. About $150.

Because it's in downtown portland and at the time im posting this there is really bad riots/protests in downtown portland so aloha surplus is kinda the way to go at this time but when riots and protesting is over andy and bax is a great store
