I'd love to have a couple pair of these, Walt. Unfortunately, at least in No. Calif., all the "army surplus" stores have turned into REI type, camping, sleeping bag, backpack, parka stores. When I was a kid (long time ago) in Napa (pop. then, 12K, now 75K), we had a store called Brewster's. Piles of canteens in one corner, army helmets in another. You could get back in the rear storeroom and never be found. Of course, everything else has changed too. They also had a whole showcase full of switchblades with 5 inch blades and dummy hand grenades. About 20 years ago, they turned into a parka store and two months ago they tore the building down.
