    Congrats on your great find. Lots of my favorite sweaters have come from thrift stores (either as is, or unraveled and reknit).

    Sorry guys, no pics yet. I hope to remedy that this weekend.

    I do, however, have an update on just how AMAZING my finds are.

    -The bobmber jacket is polyurethane-backed nylon, making it water- and wind-proof, and it is down/feather filled.

    - The overcoat is military issue, not sure what country (tags are in english), and it is 100% wool! Both the shell and the removable liner are wool. It's in excellent condition. I can't find a spot of wear on it.

    -The tweed jacket is nothing special, but it is wool, and it will make a good conversion.

    And I only spent $24.97... I don't even want to think about what the first two jackets would have cost if I'd paid retail...
