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

Pretty standard for this time of year here. Had the Irvin on to begin with and moved to the Barnstormer when the weather turned pear-shaped and it started with rain and sleet. Love these jackets.

At what point do you switch from these to your Canada Goose Parka ? Below 10F

Oh nice! I was also an engraver, intaglio, etching, lithography on stone/plate and silkscreen among other things... a very long time ago...

Small world man. I did etching, lino, not lithography but silkscreen.

I drag the Canada Goose out usually when it's below -10 Celsius. And especially up in the mountains at the cabin when it's seriously cold.

The Barnstormer is an Aero, the Irvin is an ELC.

Couple of beauties, Smithy. Each timeless in their own right.

Most hostings here work like this now, it's strange that there is still internet

…when you want to take the usual elevator photo, notice the renovation padding, and suddenly end up like an inmate of Gotham‘s Asylum for the Mentally Challenged…

Haven't been on here for a while, been too busy painting outside of our 17C house in SE Kent before Winter sets in. Having a rather lovely bit of Indian Summer now after quite a few bdays of rain, so out for shopping in my '40s Edwards and Edwards Pinto brand jacket with sunray back. 'er indoors was up in London so no-one to take photo, here's one from a few years back. Strange adornment of the breast pockets, zips are functional but don't give access to pockets, through button at top. I like the look of them though. Jacket is in nearly mint condition for its age, must have been stored for years before I came across it. I wonder if anyone here has come across one of these before ?

Epic and true vintage all over! Wish you cold list and post your collection one day!

Wow! Another gem I didn’t know you owned, Jan. The hide on this one is sublime.

Beautiful setting and colours!

Things I like about originals that are hard to get with repros:

The active, thin-leathered epaulets are a signature of an original- hard to get in a repro (unless you beg and cajole)

The natural collar-tip down set of the collar. Hard to get in most repros because of stiff leather and possibly some lost sewing trick. The Big Guy's collars can be trained but it's work.

You can see in this photo a sewing trick that most originals had but only one guy uses now...

That distinctive United Sheeplined leather- not the most beautiful compared to a RW or Dubow- it's a dirty brown with a slightly greyish hint- but that beautiful natural gaining!

Bad picture of an awesome jacket, original Fried Ostermann M-422A!

I’ve been wearing mostly a Buzz Rickson’s deck hook jacket (bought from a fellow member); today I just couldn’t resist to take out an original!

Like newagegeezer, I have spent much of the fall painting my house. His looks much more complicated. I did not wear my GW Doniger as I once threatened.

BR Civilian Conservation Corps jacket that I bought a long way back.

Awesome jacket, Entertainment and nice outfit. Very glad to hear you didn't put the Doniger at risk in the end!
