There's a bit of a story to this one. Back in 2000 I was stationed at Osan AB, ROK. Right outside the gates of Osan, in the town of Songtan, is a myriad of small stores. What's so cool about them is that more than a few will custom make clothes for you and I ended up having a 3-piece suit and a pair of dress shoes made for me (at different stores). So there I am, it's Lionel's 100th birthday and I had a brain storm to have a jacket custom made. I walked into one of the stores that specialized in jackets, gave them a picture of the Lionel logo and about a week later paid about $100 (I don't remember the exact price any more) and walked out with probably the coolest Lionel collectible in my collection! Enjoy! Opa Fritz
Unfortunately I haven't yet gotten around to scanning all of my photos from that year, but these will help show kind of what it's like right outside the main gate of Osan AB
