is that the one from Buzz Rickson?Yeah … I’m with Enigma on this one.
I lost control years ago and have more jackets than I can ever wear, in the limited 3 months a year that’s called winter down here in Florida. Throw in 3 Irvin’s into the mix as well …….. So there’s no doubt in my mind that the next jacket I should by is this one ….

B-Man, with a collection as spectacular as yours, I'm sure it's tricky, because you still want that new jacket excitement!Yeah … I’m with Enigma on this one.

Oof, Jan... stone cold line up right there, whichever way you choose, they'll all end up in your collection at some point and I can't wait to admire!Something from John no doubt. I'm in the queue for one of his B-10s and another jacket. Haven't decided which yet. Some possibilities:
- Aero 21996 in that weird dark-seal-fading-to-russet color.
- tanker jacket - Burt's new one gave me the itch.
- L.W. Foster G-1. I've got an original, but it'd be awesome to have one I could wear without a care in the world.
Totally agree … and that’s what I continually have to fight against ….B-Man, with a collection as spectacular as yours, I'm sure it's tricky, because you still want that new jacket excitement!
Nice cool spot to be in Smithy!I said a year or so back how I'm not buying anymore jackets. I have more than enough and it's a case of not buying anything until I wear something out or lose something.
I have a deposit with John which came up last year but he kindly said it can sit as long as I want. If and when I want something I just let him know and he'll make it.
But until I need something to replace something no new jackets coming
Having reached the point where I'm not hankering after jackets anymore is damn liberating.
Just got those… not really flight or leather jackets… but „vintage“ and all original with provenance.View attachment 151739View attachment 151741
