Looks fantastic, Luke! How did the label turn out?

Thanks Jan! I added more photos of the label, etc in the Avi improvements thread. Unfortunately the tailor didn't re-use the size label like I asked so she's a little naked below the spec label.

Ah well, that's a shame, but not the end of the world. Pretty sure I've seen originals missing the size tag (probably torn off), so with some use and abuse, it'll look original.

Just want to show you my new aquisition - too hot to wear it outside. So only some quick shots for checking the size. It´s a RMC 37J1B in size 44.

I've been too busy to take any photos over the past few days, besides it's been too warm for jackets anyway. As I missed 'Throwback Wednesday" I'm going to throw in a "Throwback Thursday" of my own. This was taken back 2019 with our then two year old Suffolk Punch out of one of our mares. ELC B-15.

awesome jacket

Just looking at that photo has made me sweat.
The heatwave has made it impossible to even want to look at flight jackets, and it appears to be continuing.
ELC's B-15 is a fantastic jacket in any event.

That is awesome!

Thanks - i´ve bought this one used online. So no possibility to try it on. Was so happy that the fit is good.

Just got the new SMW back from the tailors. Had the knits upgraded and the patch added. I’m pretty stoked about this one, I think this is by far my new favorite A-2. A quick inside fit pic is the best I can do as it’s 109F outside currently.

The knits are from sheeley and the patch from eBay. I had the tailor add the triangle stitch for a little extra je nais se qouis

Thanks. This jacket was my reward to myself for losing 75 pounds. A year ago this jacket wouldn’t have come close to fitting. I’m trying to lose an additional 50 pounds. That would put me in a good wear jacket. I’ve got my eye on a Dubow

 

[B-Man2]

That’s awesome … congrats on the weight loss . I know from experience … it ain’t easy!!

 

[mulceber]

congrats, Wing! Nice alterations to the jacket!

It took a lot of major lifestyle changes, that’s for sure.

 

[blackrat2]

Yeah nicely done sir, it certainly helps to have a target to work towards

 

[Pa12]

Awesome. Keep it up. If you have to have your jackets altered it’s money we’ll spent.

 

[WingAndaPrayer]

It certainly does. A goodwear A-2 is on my bucket list. I’ve wanted one for years.

 

[Pa12]

A gw would be the perfect reward for yourself

I agree. I’m so close to fitting one that I can almost taste it haha.
