Next time you're giving anything > away think of me :) - Tina > Tina, Yeah, you are right. Hard for me to find gloves. Just how big is your medicine cabinet at home?? Walkin?? Maybe I can trade loan of your Domke jacket for Ted Grant's book. I could go to tailor and have them scale up the jacket (I am assuming you don't wear a men's large). Maybe I should contact Domke distributors and see if they have the patterns. I had the jacket for many years, loved it. I understand about heat. I find the Domke's mesh nice, but sometimes wish all but pockets were mesh. My biggest conflict is between comfort and waterproofness. I used to scotchguard the domke and then could spend some time in rain with gear protected. Would be lovely to find a gortex Domke jacket for wet weather, warn or cold. donal - -- Donal Philby San Diego http://www.donalphilby.com
