Cologne to wear with your flight jacket

[Kermit3D]

As long as a flight jacket doesn't smell like a submariner's jacket, then all is fine !

My original mint 55J14 Star smells like an old goat in rut. So much so that I elected not to wear it on a plane ride as I thought of the poor person sitting next to me. (I don't take off my jackets on plane rides)

Not gonna ask how you know what that smells like.

Nope. Not gonna do it.

I do find it odd we’re talking about mens cologne’s on a vintage flight jacket site!
Also, someone earlier mentioned Bay Rum, thats is actually a hair tonic albeit it does smell quite nice though and reminds me of ‘Brilliantine’ from years ago!!

Thread started 2 and-a-half years ago. Someone pulled the stake from the vampire's chest and it lives again!

FWIW:

Bay rum - Wikipedia

My buddy Spenser always used Bay Rum -- and not the hair tonic.

What do I know, but it is sold in the UK as for putting on one’s thatched top!!

Why not? We’ve done everything else, hats, shirts, jeans, sunglasses, slippers! It’s all stuff that is worn with flight jackets. I’m still tempted to start one on underpants.

Have we done socks?

Must be national differences. Sort of like that language gap.

You say 'gap, we say 'gap' kind of thing?

I'll get my coat...

Not exclusively, but they’ve been mentioned. Around the same time as your bamboo boxers!

Underwear ?????
Socks???????
What the hell’s next ?

Oh wait … I know.
How about … What kind of these do you wear with your flight jacket ?

(Well you just knew it was coming right ?)

 

[Kermit3D]

But I don't recommend wearing a vintage period model... you've been warned.

You aren’t far off the mark actually… I read some reviews in the past where women actually liked men to smell of motor oil and firewood. I guess it reminds them of their dad working in the garage.

Hmmm. Never worked for me.

Nothing beats the exotic aroma of warm EP90, it has a lingering and sensual quality that some ladies find irresistible...

I’m a mechanic and even I can’t stand the stench of gear oil. Especially after it’s lived in a diff. For a while

I was thinking Hoppe's No.9 bore cleaner. For those pure .50 cal moments...

Interestingly its website says it has a classic smell that only comes with Hoppe's No.9 !

They clearly mean it to be a multi function gentlemans care product. Must be for gentlemen it talks about being solvent ;-)

Now, if they could have one that smelled like freshly fired gun powder, I’d buy that for a dollar

What can I say, at least I will be remembered for something!
