Vintage CWU jacket

Sorry, I never said it by my own…
I put it in brackets , so please read quote „ rare and wanted“…. Hence others believe it.. and mentioned it several times.
Again IMO CWU-36/P or CWU-45/P with or without bi-swing, are not rare and not really wanted ( how many here are seeking for one or even own one ?).
A 100++ US$ jacket sitting on Crapbay for weeks is not very wanted IMO.
Nevertheless, I owe a CWU-36/P, issued to me ( not the bi-swing version). I am happy with it and wear it mostly when travelling.
Second, bi-swing back is rare and wanted , probably a rumor for long while ago. I heard that that as early as early 2000s.

Second that… a rumor.. Those who wore one ( read bi-swing ) in OSAN ROK-AFB looked a bit like wearing a camel-back..So again not for me… but others maybe.
All a matter of personal taste and or POV.

So are any of these jackets particularly rare or wanted? The CWU style or is that a myth?
