I was looking at an old three weapon jacket I bought from Physical chess about 4 yrears ago. I am amazed at the thin materal used in newer non fie jackets. Can any one suggest a good, heavy , non fie jacket?. Those of you that have seen the older jackets know what i mean.

Ask for a cotton jacket instead of a nylon jacket.

Fencesmart was selling these house-brand jackets a while back made out of a really thick nylon. One of them ran me about $50. Kinda warm, kinda ugly, but it took the edge off pretty much anything.

Those are the ones im talking about,they are thin compared to say the old santilli pratice jackets or even the ones Triplette used to make.

No dude, you're thinking of the thin style ones.

They had a thin style jacket and a thick style jacket.

I know of a limited stock of the old Santelli jackets.

What size you looking for and maybe I can introduce you to "my guy".

I'll even save you the trouble of coming down to the docks at 10pm...

But you'll still need to wear a pink carnation, be whistling 'Yankee Doodle' in the key of G, and carrying a f.net catalog in your left hand. Unless you suspect you're being followed, in which case you'll carry the catalog in your right hand.
