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

We've got a full storm here today, and as usual inside the Arctic Circle for autumn it'll last for a couple of days at least. Full gale force winds and more, I wore an A-2 to take the kids to school but afterwards realised that was bloody hopeless, reverted to the waxed cotton Barbour ripoff (which is better than the actual Barbours I've had).

If I wasn't in such a rush I would have dragged out the Aero Barnstormer which laughs at this kind of weather!

Last time we were in UK two years back, we went to a Barbour store and as much as I wanted to buy one - esp being there - it didn't look as great as I had imagined it from pics. Bummed me out, but saved me a pretty penny. Or whatever you guys call money there :D

Dmitry, how did you get this jacket? Was it simply a case of trawling through EBay and what condition was it in, did you have to change cuffs etc..?

Hi, this MA-1 was discussed a little earlier here and you will find answers to your questions here (starting from post # 13)



If you need detailed photos of the jacket, let me know I can post it ;)

A splendid sneak preview of an early fall this week! This morning a lovely 68º with 12mph NNE winds... a low of 53º tonight!!!! Will be low 70s with overnights at mid 50s until thrusday so taking advantage by donning my Bronson Chinos, Dragonboot rough outs and a GW J.A. Dubow... its cloudy, breezy ... perfect for a short walk over to Home Depot to get a couple of things whilst lookin' all 40s and shit.... :p

Jacket looks like it was made for you.
Perfect fit ... and lookin trim. :)
down to 145 lbs. not sure exactly how.. tape worms maybe :D I don't eat a lot.. I eat but small portions and mostly chicken, bananas, apples grapes and some cheese. I don't get fancy with my meals any longer. no point. just fill the hole and get back to work... so that's keeping me trim. the jacket feels so great and I just don't want to take it off!!!!
