Well, as much as I love jackets, my collection has been slimming down to make room for other hobbies. All Nylon Repro Buzz B-15C (my favorite) Original Lion MA-1 (Trying to sell) Skyline MA-1 C model (43rd Bomb Wing Patched) Skyline MA-1 C model with C&C zippers (It's a Medium and trying to sell) Satellite L-2B H model Albert Turner N-3B D model CWU-36 (My Desert Storm B-52 Gunner jacket) CWU-45 Still looking for a C model MA-1 with C&C zippers in XL size.
I've sold a few recently, so my collection is the smallest now thats its been since I've started. Buzz Roughwear B-10 (Absolutely awesome jacket, highly recommend it) ELC '42 pattern Irvin (still in post)

How long have you been waiting ... should be any day now .... no? P.S. - Hawkeye: We hit a bunch of bars in downtown T.O. this last week (Xmas staff party aftermath). Didn't see you bartendin' at any of em' though ... Jackets: - ELC B-3 Redskin - Aero ANJ-4 (button version) - some photos soon. - On the lookout for an Irvin (similar to ELC 1940's pattern)...
1 Original A-2 left now, a 27753, size 46, as near mint as you can get, I'd say. 2 Repro A-2, both from Mr. Chapman and made directly from the above 27753. 1 Original B-10 left, a size 44 Paul Reed in mint condition. An M-38 Mackinaw (Jeep) coat by Hillsdale in a size 44, dead-stock. Various Pinks & Greens to fit my size 43L frame. But I never wear them. An inordinate number of Filson, Barbour, Aero Leathers, and Orvis coats. My god I'm worse than my wife with her shoes.
Well I ordered on Nov 19th, Gary said orders were taking 2-3 weeks. And unfortunately you wouldnt see me flinging drinks downtown, I work at a bar on the York U campus in North York.
I feel like a slacker: US authentic Russet HH a-2 Aero B-3 Alpha Ma-1 Alpha N 2 b Original no name redskin b-3 that my grandfather brought home.

Counting on the 'The Pacific' to kick the value of USMC stuff in the guts. Bought up big before Flags of our Fathers but the bug did not bite like the post Band Of Brothers frenzy. Fingers crossed. Just made a move and have enough robe space for the lot. Concentrating on the family until after the holidays and will then hit "Mr. 13%"(Discount for volume!) again. Regards.. Couchy
