What are you wearing under your jacket in winter?

[Cocker]

Ace! You beat me to it. I was going to post something along the lines of "Marks and Spencer boxers but if it really gets cold a set of woolyLong-Johns" but your reply winds hands down

Should we be worried that this is the first kind of answer coming to our mind?

I just thought it but you said it

A Beerenberg sweater from Arthur Beale, bought after seeing @Flightengineer ‘s one, great warm sweater. I will be wearing it that is, when the weather cools down a bit.

BOB sweater or a USAAF mechanics sweater. That’s all you’ll ever need unless to live in a very cold place . View attachment 66460View attachment 66461

Just remembered I grabbed another ELC white sweater! And I have NEVER worn my A-2 ordered the day my Son was confirmed as a Son in 2008!

I just roll with a classy T-shirt...

More seriously, A-2 in the winter is pretty rare for me, usually too cold, and if it's somewhat mild, I prefer to go with my 55J14 with the extra warmth provided by the fur collar.

But for those rare days, depending on the temperature, it'll be either a Pike Brothers flannel shirt or wool CPO shirt, or a racing sweater with a big rollneck.

Leather g-string and mesh t-shirt, why are you asking?

Oooh... I can hear Freddie and the boys... "I want to break freeee..."

Could someone with a Pike bros C-2 sweater size M please share it’s measurements with me? Just to verify if the size chart.

 

[s4rmark]

Pike Brother c-2 measurements,( medium)
pit to pit 22.5 inches,
front(zipper) length 20.25,
sleeve from collar seam 29, no shoulder seam to measure from .

As I am one of these real nerds who never ever combines Navy shirts with Air Force jackets or the other way round, it's either a CPO shirt with my USN jackets or the Aircrew Sweater with the AAF jackets for me
I quit wearing G-Strings and mesh shirts underneath because the ladies really like that and started to rip the jackets off from me resulting in torn knits and ravaged hides...a big no-no if you like your jackets

Thank you very much @s4rmark
Could you please also tell me the back length?
Have a good day.

Thank you again, it seems that this sweater is larger on the chest than they say and shorter in length.

I wear a size 40 ELC A-2 ( but that may change as I’ve put on a bit of lard this year!!) and IMO the medium fits perfectly .
