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

[B-Man2]

It is getting to be that time of the year again.
The older I get, the faster these holidays come back around. The old saying is true,
“ Life is like a roll of toilet paper .... the closer you get to the end... the faster it goes round”

Last shift of the week calls for a casual flight jacket the B-15 fits the bill....

Looks good on you!

Thank you very much! As much as I love the shearling jackets, the B-15 develops more and more into my fav jacket...easy and light to wear and easily able to cope with most of the weather an Austrian winter can throw at you..down to -15 Celsius... Those Alpaca lined B-10/15 are really great jackets...

Hello Ken, thanks for the reply! I am very glad, really in a pocket too there are no tags.

I'd say test sample in that case

My old beaten up Avirex for the dirty jobs at the airfield. I got my winch operator rating today!

Finally, I found a way to reduce the squeaky sound on my W&G M422a made by Steve Sellers. Now that the temperature has dropped to fur collar level, I just took this jacket out for a quick walk. It's such a great jacket:

Looks damm good

Sorry about my bad writing. Was pointing out that it's the JA Dubow in Greece not in USA that made the jacket

@D97x7 Nick, love the sweater and the jacket! But do you not get too warm in those layers?

 

[D97x7]

Oh yes, tbh I was just trying it on with different jackets yesterday but I'm sure it'll come in handy when the wind blows from the Atlantic in the next month or so, I live near the coast.

Today is finally fit picture time. Which one do you like the most?

View media item 737This is my Headwind Admiral A1 jacket from @Skyhawk, custom made to size 42. I really like this jacket and haven't had the opportunity to take a nice photo for it.

View media item 736Wearing the ELC House A2 size 40 that resembles their Rough Wear 27752. I took it from @Ken at Aero Leather. Rob from ELC said that he's quite certain it's a horsehide jacket from 2005-2010. Although the cuffs are really loose, I still enjoy wearing it and will eventually replace the cuffs.

View media item 735Here's J. A. Dubow 27798 size 42 repro from Greece. The leather is still new and not broken in but I see a lot of potentials!

View media item 734Finally, the Aero 16160 trainee jacket size 40 in battered steerhide from Aero. Certainly a comfortable wear that will be a beater for a long time to come.

What a collection! Thanks for sharing. If I had to chose, I'd say I like the ELC house the best.
