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

I agree. Started out doing that, then changed to a more comfortable cut. The way Nick's new Aero fits him can't be beat IMO. That's the perfect WW2 look!

Way too kind. You seasoned gents totally knock it out of the park with your jackets! I'm a mere groupie!

You might not want to sell to this guy.

Nick, it really looks nice on you, indeed! Looks almost like original, nice leather, lots of grain and charm. And it looks comfy. Congrats!

Bahaha, thanks man. Yep, normally take a standard sz 42 but sometimes have the Jimmy Stewart look with shortish sleeves, but could care less!

I think this is the right attitude with these jackets. Perfection is an allusion. How much happiness do we deny ourselves constantly obsessing over fit?! I see these more as historical (or historically-influenced artifacts) we wear; therefore it's much less about the model wearing the jacket than it is the jacket and the model. If it's in the general ballpark I say enjoy it!

Gary's winterized 27752 was a Christmas gift from the lady (yep, I'm one lucky dude). The wool liner material is identical in color to my original M-41 which is kinda cool, and really does keep you warm.

Newly received GW Aero 21996, thank you Ties. The fit was a gamble from the beginning, as the sleeves and length were at the edge of what I normally consider short.. with the jacket on you can see that both the sleeves and length come up a bit short, wearable for me, (imho) but short.
The jacket is otherwise perfect and lovely in every way.

We had a taste of that here in the US last week.
I can’t imagine what that would be like on a consistent basis. You guys up there are real troopers!

We're actually pretty mild here by comparison Burt as we're on the coast. Drive an hour inland and it's at least 10 degrees colder!
