M-65 Field Jacket from Operation EAGLE CLAW

That's pretty much how Tactical Tailor was started as well, no? At least from the conventional side.

That's exactly how it started, right here in WA, at Ft. Lewis. Logan wanted certain kit items that weren't issued or in existence, so started making and nodding his own.

Guys saw what he was doing and said, "hey, I want that too!", and an idea was born.

I remember their first store there in Lakewood, the one Surplus Ammo & Arms eventually moved in to.

And hell yes, field jacket liners under a BDU top were awesome.

More thread drift. Captain Kenneth Bowra and one of his little fighters (either Montagnard or Cambodian). The Captain had a homemade AK chest rig for his AR. Love those XM guns.

Could have been Hmong, I'm friends with a few of them. I want to cry when I think of what they went through when we left them.

Yup, Logan started it in the barracks. He became the "Go To" man.

Logans folks are real good people also.

Yeah, for all our "leave no man behind" talk, we had three years to evac friendlies and we didn't get it done. In some cases we never even tried. How we expected anyone else to trust "advisors" after that is beyond me.

And leaving them to the commies and then decades later doing biz with the same government that tortured and murdered our POWs and then did the same to those who helped us, I just can't accept that. If John McCain personally wanted to forgive them, that's fine, he can do it. But we shouldn't prop up that shithole with capitalist dollars and US tourism. We should have sent them Jane Fonda and John Kerry and then isolated them like North Korea.
