Tasmania Police motorcycle & traffic duties used to have a similar blue leather jackets too.

Ah, the cooler weather approacheth here in the Southern Hemisphere. While it's not raining so much, the go-to jacket at the moment is my original Perry A-2 16175P. I love how comfortable it is to wear. Just ordered a B2 cap to go along with it, too.

Oh be still, my beating heart! I'm an absolute sucker for Perrys. They're sweeeet as! Thanks for sharing

It was three below freezing this morning, but an Alpha replica B-15C kept the chill away nicely. Getting great use of the collection this winter, it'll almost be a shame to see spring arrive.

Wore a (gasp) Saddlery A-2 the last few days. Atoned for my sins by wearing a Perry.

Absolutely stunning. It's as if a time machine was used to pluck it from the past and bring it to the here and now. Thanks for the photos!

Can see why that mixed Perry B-3 is your favourite, and the B-6 with the Crown zipper looks sweet, too. Nice additions to the family. Did Rob let you look through the factory floor area?

Gosh, thanks CBI. Was just thinking the other day it's been well & truly more than five years since I got a new jacket. This posting was the thing that tipped me over that edge... an ATF fleece tanker is on it's way to keep the approaching Tasmanian winter chill at bay. I guess it goes to...

I'd been interested in aviation since before I could crawl, or so it seems. That led to an awful lot of my wage being spent on flying lessons as a 17 year old. Not long after, it was discovered that buying a house and flying lessons were mutually exclusive on a young technician's wage, and...
