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

ELC Werber 1729

 

[Mr. Mike]

Works fine on my Gizemo N-1, reasonably comfortable as well. To be honest, I'd forgotten it was even there. View attachment 68673
Time to lose the beard again I think.

Agreed - seeing is believing. It does not look to comfortable though. I could imagine that if you try to tie your shoes now either your head pops or someone gets shot by the button jumping off ;o)). Just kidding - thanks for the photo proof!

On other jackets like the b3 and anj4 i’ve been able to wear latched but couldn’t latch myself. Total shoulder workout. Had to have my wife close for me. Prob not a problem in wartime. Just have your buddy do it for you. Nowadays.... Anyhow, was at a chilly soccer game last night. Just popped the collar against the wind and was good to go.

I would say no mask required, actually if you put sun glasses on, your own friends wouldn’t recognize you

Thanks, someone made a comment about never having seen an original that was still green and being as I'd previously noticed that my Bronson
B-10 had accidentally faded in the sun I decided to give it a go, I must say I like the results.

Cool enough today to wear an original WWII Willis and Geiger M-422a. This jacket was originally issued to pilot Lieutenant Nathanial G. Kanrich, USNR who flew off the USS Princeton CVL-23 which was sunk in the Battle of Leyte Gulf east of Luzon on October 24th, 1944. The jacket is in perfect original condition.

Unlike the guy who’s wearing it, who smells a little old , and musty like Old Spice , Hai Karate , or English Leather cologne ….
The jacket really doesn’t have any oder.

Reeks of pure character Burt. Lucky you

Almost makes you wonder why they didn't make aircraft carriers out of goat ...
