So I finally got one!

[Unhinged]

That's right, I finally caught a leprechaun!  I'll never forget the face the little guy made when I told him I wasn't there for any pot of gold.  Now he's handcuffed to the almost life-size chessboard in my backyard, which until a yesterday was missing a piece.  Now I have a live one 

In other news I also just bought a Barbour International A7 jacket which I've been lusting after since even before I wanted the leprechaun.  Paid $230 for it.  It doesn't have any padding or proper protection, I know, I know; but as long as I'm wearing the Barbour in my coffin with the leprechaun beside me, I won't care.

So happy

you can always get an armor vest for underneath if you are concerned about safety....

There's a couple companies that make items like what okpanic mentioned - my fave is T-Pro/Forcefield. They offer up a wide variety stuff to be worn under non-armored gear.

Where the heck did you find a Barbour coat for only $230?!?!
