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

we went on a long doggo walk along the Danube in the early afternoon and as it was sunny and looked warm I opted for a BR Jungle Combat Shirt; luckily I had the original A-2 Deck Jacket still in the car from yesterday's excursion as it was rather breezy and a bit chilly near the water...
our two Hovis were more than happy though; they love this kind of weather and the swimming season is opened hereby...

we were walking near the very ground mentioned in the post. the refinery is not existing anymore but unexploded bombs are found time after time during construction work even nowadays...

Bronson WEP…

Dude I love that WEP!
Got the fantastic sheen to the nylon like the originals had ,but the length is abit off (which isn't a bad thing, considering modern jeans sit alot lower than the jeans of the 50-60s when these were designed.....the pants made for these sat even higher on the waist)

I think it is horween. I have the same jacket and it sure looks like it.

Well, I emailed JC last week...we'll see if he has time to reply.
I'm getting in line, I think.
Too many nice pieces here not to!
No clue what I'll get, but I spose I got a long time to think it over

Thanks fellas for getting me pumped again!

I got a Buzz Rickson MA-1 (Albert Turner) in XXXL. I'll post some pics. Could I buy an Alpha MA-1 for $100? Yeah, I could, but this one is to build a jacket honoring my Pop in the 23rd Bombardment Squadron, stationed in Bicester, England in the mid 50's. So, no cheapo jacket for that mission. It is the first quality non-leather jacket I've bought, and I have to say, I'm impressed. Pics will come soon.
These are the patches. One of them will go on the right chest.

Hey all, before I get the patch sewn in, I want to ask a dumb question...
I should have the patch sewn in through all layers of the jacket (chest), correct?
I've had patches sewn on a long time ago and the guy was really proud that he only sewed through the leather, and not the liner. I think correct is through the entire jacket, correct?

Yep, every time I’ve seen it. Not sure the other way is “wrong” per se, just much harder to pull off, so most people applying a patch won’t bother.

B-Man2 · Mar 18, 2024

Agree .., it was just easier to sew it thru the liner than to take the jacket liner apart or lift it up.

Looking great!

But damn, I wish Burt wouldn't sell all his stuff before October... What should I take home from Dayton if not one of his size 48 jackets

?

Wearing my GW 1401P before the snow came back again, just when we thought it was over.

Getting ready to catch my flight back home…

Gotta say Rob, that Dubow somehow looks a better fit of the two jackets you’ve posted , maybe it’s the leather but the Dubow has a great drape and the pockets and colour look so cool

Lord Flashheart · Mar 20, 2024

It's about the jacket right? Been wearing Dave Sheeley's Switlik Parachute Co. M-422 lately. Going to need a bit more wearing too!

ButteMT61 · Mar 20, 2024

OK, here's one from a re-enacting event...me in my Soviet "Sheepie"

The mug I have is a joke based on the real ones we use (see others). Found them at a Mexican grocery in the desert...made for some good laughs and a lot of beer...

S.F.A.D. B-3, the camera actually picked up the proper colour today

mulceber · Mar 20, 2024

Nope, they switched to a more artificially-white color about a year ago:

eastman doesn't make this in that color anymore isn't it?

I'm not sure what colour they are these days, I know they've been though a few changes, I think this was the second version, not certain about that though.

mulceber · Mar 20, 2024

Yeah, I like it better too.
