B-3 appreciators in the UK rejoice!

[stanier]

I've just walked to my local for some Sunday lunchtime refreshment and it's given me a great opportunity to wear my ELC RW B-3 (which I've almost lived in since Friday), ELC B-2 cap and Buzz Rickson A-10 gloves. Also great to wear my mechanics A-1 sweater. Shied away from the officer pinks though and stuck to my usual vintage denim. Long may the snow continue!

Anyone else taking full advantage of the current cold spell, and breaking out the shearling?

Cheers

Chris

Oh yes ! My Irvin is getting some serious wear and is plenty warm enough.

 

[stanier]

Yes, sorry I should have included Irvin's in the title of thread too! It's lovely to have an excuse to get out the cooler weather stuff! You need a break from A-2's sometime!

 

[NW Carver]

Oh yes, out in the snow in my Aces High Irvin! Nice and warm..been wearing it nearly every day for the last week or so

 

[Dr H]

Been living in my ELC B-15 too. Very warm and comfortable in the snow.

 

[stevetfire]

Yes me too...B3(elc 50cal) with A1 under it...great in this weather

 

[Dr H]

Yes Steve, the ELC A-1 is great as a sleeved jerkin.

Wow, that's chilly!

Last Friday afternoon here, when it was 44.1c/111.4f, I was dreaming of weather cool enough to even wear an A-2!

First ELC B-6, but with weather predictions going ot the teens for the balance of the week the ELC BoB Irvin is once again out this year. Looking forward to it. Who but we would be happy with the freezing weather. We really are a band of brothers !!!!!!!!!!

One can only dream down under..., enjoy the weather lads and the fleecy jackets

Hmmm...

I know that you're currently experiencing the extreme end of the weather scale Matt, but personally I've had enough of the snow (currently just dropped another load 4-5 inches deep) - won't be fun getting to work in the morning.

Can't wait for the weather to warm a little to break out the M-422A and the A-1...

 

[Skip]

That sort of weather Ian would be a novelty for us, but no doubt would soon wear thin after the first few days of having to go about daily life in it, as you said not fun, like any extreme weather it puts an extra strain and an element of danger, to all facets of living.

So quips aside, keep warm and safe guys, and I'll keep dreaming of coolers days

 

[Dr H]

Amen to that...

I'll pop some snow in the post for ya...
