    What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

    Thanks! It’s an old 1930s, square-neck resonator. It belonged to a friend’s father. When his father passed away, my friend gave the resonator to me. AF

    What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

    They call the color of the Stetson “silver belly”. It’s a very light gray. Of course, the Trucker is faded denim blue. AF

    Wearing a Brents Sportswear 1958 MA-1. It’s a reproduction from the 1990s. AF

    What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

    It’s been colder than a well digger’s ass since before Christmas and I’ve been wearing everything from an ATF N-1 to a Reed N-3A. Today, the temperature rose above freezing for the first time in recent memory, and I happily shed my outerwear. Here I am...on my way to the post...

    AT THE FRONT N-1 DECK JACKET DEAL OF THE DAY $99 YES an N-1 NEW!!!!!

    My ATF N-1 came just now. First, a disclaimer. I've never owned or worn an original N-1, so I can't very well comment on how "accurate" is this reproduction. I can tell you...with confidence...that this jacket is much like the other four ATF repros I own. It is a high quality, well made...

    AT THE FRONT N-1 DECK JACKET DEAL OF THE DAY $99 YES an N-1 NEW!!!!!

    Figured out how to upload photos from my iPad to VLJ. Here's a photo of ATF's new N-1.

    AT THE FRONT N-1 DECK JACKET DEAL OF THE DAY $99 YES an N-1 NEW!!!!!

    I was so fast on the trigger, I bought the second N-1 they sold. That, according to the lady who answered their telephone when I called, the other day. I'd love to post photos of it when it arrives, but I no longer know how. I've stopped using photobucket and I can't figure out how to upload...

    The jacket in your photo appears to be a N-3B. If you can post a photo of the jacket's tag, one of us may be able to tell you the exact year it was made. AF

    First New FJ in Years

    I've always like varsity jackets, MA-1s and L-2Bs. I don't know why I didn't look into a tanker before now. It really is a comfortable, non-martial jacket. AF

    First New FJ in Years

    Thanks! I've actually lost some weight here lately. After Christmas, I'd grown out of almost everything I owned, including my work clothing. So I went on a low carb diet and now I've shed 25 or so lbs. Made all of my jackets fit more comfortably. AF

    First New FJ in Years

    I had my local seamstress shorten the sleeves on my new ATF tanker jacket. Fits much better, now. I can see that this will be a much-worn jacket come next fall. Yes, Jackie's flip flops are still on the porch, there behind me. AF

    First New FJ in Years

    I understand they will introduce a couple of USN deck jackets, soon. I hope one is a reasonably priced N-1. AF

    First New FJ in Years

    Thanks! Yeah, the tie is an occupational hazard, I'm afraid. I was a career prosecutor until I retired in December, 2015. Now I'm a private attorney. Most of my vintage jacket wearing has always been done over a dress shirt and a tie. AF
