In retirement, I've begun playing Taps at veterans' funerals, under the
auspices of Bugles Across America (http://www.buglesacrossamerica.org).

Seeking a used set of Navy officer dress blues, coat size 44-46 and

trousers
38-40.

Please note that my return email address will not work; the correct

address
can be found in the sig (just needs a little deciphering).

Hi, Larry --

In Atlanta, the pickings are pretty thin -- I did touch base with the PA
shop at NAS Atlanta for suggestions -- and a phone call to Brownsville Army
Navy in Pensacola also turned up zip. I am continuing to check eBay.

I understand that there may be some on-base thrifts in Pensacola, and that
may give me an excuse for a trip down there.

Thanks,

I don't think I'd do ebay on this- you'll need to try them on for proper
fit.

That sounds like your best bet. Some are staffed by volunteers and have
limited hours- I'd call ahead first.
