    My Pop was one of the GIs in the '50s that had a wool Army blanket sewn to the inside of a poncho for winter wear. Worked very well. Keeps you one hell of a lot warmer on guard duty at night in Germany in the winter.

    jrbfishn,

    Fwiw, one of our buck sergeants was married to a Vietnamese lady, when I was stationed in BRD, and she made all of us Mike Papas a WATERPROOF & WARM "field expedient inclement weather coat" using "cut-up" ponchos & army blankets.
    ("Me Lei" was GREAT seamstress!!)

    One night while patrolling on the Czech border, a man in a US "OG" field uniform "waved us down" & walked up to the Jeep (an M38A1) driver's window.
    He was a Brigadier General & I "held my breath" that he wouldn't "give us a bad time" about "being out of uniform". = He stood there for "a long/long moment", then asked, "Where the H did you get that coat?" -
    The driver (a SP5) said, "General, one of our SGT's wives made them for us".
    The "flag" said, "How do I get her to make me one & how much do they cost?".
    (I breathed a sigh of relief.)

    yours, satx
