What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

[Brettafett]

Jeremiah. Actually I’m from Bolivia, but I live in Fl when I’m not travelling!! Love Sunshine State

FL is nice... Bolivia is a world apart... I was there a few years ago, also.... traveling. Incredible place.

Man Brett, that thing drapes like an original. That’s awesome drape.

 

[Brettafett]

Actually, its a funny thing... It does. This leather is very supple and quite light. I love wearing this jacket...
I think I will change out the zipper to the repro M-39 Talon sometime... Just make it that much more nicer

You were there??? Which part did you visit???

 

[Brettafett]

Briefly: La Paz, Tiwanaku, Tiquina Copacabana, Yumani, then across to Peru and Puno. Then went across and spent some days in the islands of Amantani and Taquile. Was there approx 2 to 3 weeks altogether...

 

[jeremiah]

I have been to Peru. Namely Lima, Trujillo, Cuzco and Arequipa

 

[Smithy]

Haven't been to Bolivia, would love to. We used to live in Santiago in Chile which my wife and I loved.

Jacket-wise, 5 Celsius today with gales and rain/hail. The Barnstormer laughed it off.

Ohh nice!! Andes area is pretty cool in Bolivia, I was born and raised on the east side, more Florida kinda weather but we don’t have beach!

 

[Brettafett]

I spent about 8 months in South America a few years back, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and then Paraguay and Argentina (briefly).
Colombia is a special place.

Actually got to take out my AVI G-1 later this afternoon also. Cool, fresh breezy... perfect for the mouton collar. Loving this jacket.
Been a day of AVIs.

Personally, i think it is a good fit on you.

 

[Greg Gale]

Not roomy at all! I like snug fits and I think it's spot on.

Yes I would think the same if this was my only one, but I have a Star Sportwear size 42 that fits me better! @Greg Gale

Now the Star looks too snug.

 

[Greg Gale]

Looks great too, fits trim like my Star A-2. This being said, the 42 looks great on you too, depends on what you prefer. I've seen some original photos of people wearing their G-1s much baggier than that...

 

[zoomer]

CPT 37J1 in ersatz Bedford cord. When I wear a red hat with it I look like a pimiento stuffed olive. But it will have to do until the real thing comes along.

Well actually the sweater I’m wearing under the G-1 is a extra looooooong fit, so it’s very deceiving!!! Lol

Yes, I mean the Martin is good but I already got 2 other G-1’s that fit perfect for me! I prefer try an A-2 now!

 

[Greg Gale]

I can certainly understand that What do you have in mind? What maker/ contract?
