Same here. My dad was in the CB's in WWII. He told stories about a couple of bad storms and taking on water. Also chipping ice off the deck up in Alaska.

I used to have his foul weather jacket. Heavy canvas-like outer shell with an itchy wool liner. It had to be COLD to wear that thing. Not many chances in SC.
I just lost my old foul weather jacket. The zipper finally went out
after 50 years and it wasn't a virgin when I got it (maybe WWII).
That was my go to coat when it was nasty out.

Get it repaired/replaced at a local tailor!

It was going to be pretty expensive and the coat was falling apart
anyway.

Alas we do not have any "Korean" dry cleaners here. In fact I am not
even sure where I would find a dry cleaner these days. I have not been
to one in 20 years.

Most of the cleaners in this neck of the woods are run by Koreans. Just go in and say, "Anyung
haseyo" and see if they smile. If so, they're Korean. If they pull out a weapon they may be
Japanese.
