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

[Lord Flashheart]

No it wouldn't, Flash has the right idea!

To be fair the beanie is about as authentic USAAF as the Toys. But guess what, they were both comfortable and warm which was much more important at that point

Mike, it sounds like you’re testing the B-3 in the environment it was originally designed for - and it’s passing with flying colors.

Out in the Cornish Alps, snow being threatened, with the B-3, BR William Gibson A-4, and A-10 gloves out of shot. I needed them!

Don't see many William Gibson items here.. looks like it could 'none more black'.

Agree.. yet again.

-12C this morning, but this old jacket kept me warm. Thick shearling weather since early January... happens every 10 years or so in these parts of Norway.

I cant imagine being out in those temperatures !, it was very kind of you to help those people, nice one. You have certainly made good use of that jacket !.

It's a beautiful sunny morning in London, snow has mostly melted away and not that cold so I'm about to go out for walk in an old favourite outfit, a WW2 Regulation Officer's O'Coat Field (that's how it's labelled) which has a removable warm woolen button in lining and a pair of British Officer's boots (not despatch riders which had 3 straps ), these were made in the most lovely pebbled leather. Not sure about hat yet, probably an old Australian stetson, it looks OK with teh raincoat

 

[flyincowboy]

nice boots

Lots of USN deck stuff today in my outfits; BR Deck Hook jacket and deck pants for the doggo walk in the morning followed by the BR N-1 deck jacket for a quick shopping hop in the afternoon...

 

[B-Man2]

Nice looks Phil . Both photos .

 

[Griffon_301]

Thank you I guess the Alpaca lined N-1 will see quite some use in the days to come along with the Irvins and the B-15s, as temperatures will go down into minus double digit Celsius regions here... My A-11 trousers are prepared as well, as is my B-2 cap

That's classy! And the boots are flash as a rat with a gold tooth!

I bought my B-2 cap even before I got my B-3 from ELC to "check" their quality...
These were the times when you ordered via fax (if your parents had one) or via a letter through mail, stating the product, the id number and the size you wanted...
Of course only after requesting their catalogue first which came with nice leather samples...

I wear it very rarely these days but today, I will ...
Very cold morning and windy with light snow, so it will be my N-3b Parka for the doggie walk I guess ... It's big hoodie covers the cap perfectly while the B-2 still keeps my noggin warm
