Glad to have you back to read my little BLOG I have here. Now go ahead and sit back, have a sip of your coffee or beer (depending on what time of day of course), and soak in the silky smooth styling’s of..............SGT Zirbes and his new lamb skin jacket.
It is so buttery smooth and soft and it is custom tailored to my fitting, thanks for asking. I love it so much that I am wearing right now as I type this because I know I'll have to send it home to wear in the fall and I don't want to take it off.
You see, there is a leather shop here on post and I just happened to stop in one day to smell the leather (Don't all of you just love that smell). After talking to the salesman/tailor he brought me in back to show me a new shipment of lambs skin he got in. Once I laid my hands on that leather, I was hooked. When I told Sarah that I wanted to have a jacket made, I think she thought I was crazy. You see, you have to have a little background on this. I have a jacket fetish. I love jackets like my wife likes shoes. I have all types of jackets for all occasions, except for dress casual. My long leather jacket is too dressy and my journeyman leather jacket is too casual so when I saw this style, I knew that I had to have it. Now you can see the finished product. Doesn't it look nice? Just imagine me with a button down shirt on and without the mustache (4 more days and it is out of here). I can't wait to wear it next fall back home. By the way, the guy next to me is Gabe. He bought a jacket also made out of camel hide. He rides motorcycles and wanted a nice leather jacket to go riding in and he fell in love with that one. His is a nice jacket also but, I like mine just a little more. So I'll wear it tonight during poker and then into a box to send home to wait for me. Take good care of it while I'm gone honey.
Otherwise, life here is going ok. It rained here again today, so that sucks. earlier in the week we had a dust storm that was not so good. I will put a picture or two down below so that you can see how orange the sky got during the dust storm. It was so thick that it was hard to breath during it. I guess that there are more of them to come this spring. I'm so looking forward to that.......lol. Other than that I'm just "Keeping it real", as one of the guys in my shop says. Not quite sure what that is supposed to mean but I guess I’m keeping it as real as it gets here in Iraq.
That’s all for now. I hope you all enjoyed the entry this week. If you do have any complaints about what you have just read, you can call the BLOG hotline at 1-800-THISBLOGSUCKS and report me. I do try my best, but if you feel you have to call, please be kind in your ripping on me. I'm sensitive you know. I cry easy and I don’t want to get my new jacket wet.
Take care and I'll have more for you next week
Dan
