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

Well, it’s -6 C and falling, so on my way to work, it was time to break out the Rough Wear B-3:

Just had to duck outside and check that the gate wasn't about to become an airborne missile with the wind really starting to crank itself up now. Jerry Sumpftarn '44 winter parka to the rescue, love using this coat to do anything manual when the weather is bad. No photo, it's pitch dark, winds are nearing hurricane force so not much chance of a pretty selfie.

For those who haven't seen it, here's the parka in calmer weather (btw these are terrific repros, colour, pattern, weight, even the little details like the "shield" buttons are excellently done)

Hey Smithy,
Is there a possibility to get a fit pic from you with that parka? I've been always interested in those things but have no clue how they should properly fit. They were meant to be worn over regular uniforms/ field tunics so I guess they are pretty roomy...

Here is a couple of shots of the new (to me) D1 I swooped up from Grant. Fit feels good and keeps me pretty warm in 0F temps up here in Alaska.

The temperature eventually reached -10 C with a windchill of -19 C. The B-3 did what it was made for.

Smithy,
Beautiful jacket. 5*, AVI, Goodwill?

Do you know it's such a long time ago that memory escapes me, Hawkes of Savile Row or a handmedown from Adam Ant I'd wager

Give me a day or so - I'm on night duty at the mo but will take some fit pics. And yes they are made for layering. They're a brilliant bit of kit.

ELC A-1 plus ELC A-2 today for me

Tanker with Stihl accessories. After a lot of changing of my mind and advice from rich people I finally decided on the ATF fleece version. I want to drop the jacket into my tailor to have the waist taken in and have a deeper waistband fitted so it looks less chavvy peasant and a lot more how I like to wear my clothes....

I think you're poking a bear. And I think that bear is clad in Chanel.

Weather's pretty much the same as yesterday, so I'm glad the folks at Buzz Rickson thought to make the collar tab on my B-15 fully functional and not just for show.

Love that Buzz B-15 Jan, the cut and vintage look is awesome.

I always thought about having one of these, so I treated myself for Christmas. An original maker “Wested” Indiana Jones lambskin jacket. It’s very lightweight and idea for cool evenings .

‘Curly’ 5* B-3. Really enjoying wearing this. The fit, the fleece. the leather.

The more you will wear this jacket the more you will enjoy it!.
