The VLJ “JACKET HALL OF FAME”

[P-47 thunderbolt]

I wanted to put my DD Aero I for consideration. Worn every day for almost 2 years in NZ - rain or shine

 

[Pa12]

There I was... Hitting the like button to
all of the jackets posted with out reading
the rules.

Oops. Me too.

All of the above A2s are lovely worn jackets, I’m slightly embarrassed with this offering, although I’ve only owned for 4 years, I’ve worn it to work everyday for 2 years. Name tag carry’s my uncles name along within the left pocket his lucky flask…Carrying hessian backed carpets everyday, it’s been left on washing line in all conditions,drenched in terrestrial rain. I’ve added pics of natural sunlight too.. those cuffs were originally same colour as the waistband… Of course I’m not expecting to win, I’m just pretty bored at the moment, please delete if it’s unfit for this thread

Next nominee is Ties GW DuBow that he’s had for 15 years and looks original . View attachment 98919

Just a suggestion guys. Please don’t submit multiple photos of your jackets . Just pick your best photo and submit it, otherwise it’s not fair to the guys who only have one photograph posted …..Thanks

A sticky would be good, perhaps controlled by Burt with say one new addition every six months or so?

Hey guys !
I just got this photo of John Levers A1 which is definitely a Hall of Fame entry . Check it out .

 

[John Lever]

Some info:
I bought it from a blind person who wore it every day for 5 years. He must have bumped and scraped it every day he also tried to resew the buttons by feel. This jacket is like an old crumpled handkerchief so very soft.
One of my fav. jackets.

Man, I don't think I can imagine an A-1 looking better than that.

Charles DiScipio told me he thinks it's the best one he has ever seen also.
I love it.

 

[mulceber]

It is what the .50 cal A-1 aspires to be.

Guys !
The Hall of Fame Entries are open until the “Ides Of March” ….. or March 15th if you’re not familiar with “Julius Caesar”
Please let’s try and keep some order in the event . Please submit one photo to me via PM of your entry and I’ll post it for you . It will keep the thread manageable by eliminating multiple photos of the jackets .
So let’s have a little fun with this .
Thanks

Hi guys I haven't been on the group long, some great posts though, this isn't a aviation jacket but I had it from being 22 up till a couple of years ago, a old fringed American horsehide jacket, it went to some awesome festivals and concerts over the years though
