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

[Silver Surfer]

Ya Mon, original a-2. Dats da kine

 

[newagegeezer]

I recognise some WB bit players in there, some who made a name later on, Bob Montgomery for one

 

[blackrat2]

Gotta say, having watched him taking his harness off, his jacket moves like a second skin for sure

 

[Dubpynchon]

The Irvin I received from John Lever.

It's a tad short but Irvins are, and I'm wearing low-hanging levis. The sleeve length is fine which is more important to me. This one's a keeper, definitely.

Out and about in the BR B-15 this morning:

I wonder if the wrist knits are in service depot replacements. Because my original Monarch has the same ones. People on here were saying I should replace them with ones that match the waist knit, but I think they are part of the jackets history.

You are correct. I think the cuffs are original.

I’m back to being “hands free” no Walker, no cane. It’s warm day here but just cool enough for a Jinruishi L-2b repro .

 

[saucerfiend]

You look great, Burt! And, straight as an arrow!

 

[YoungMedic]

Looking good Burt! I was going to check in on you today, glad to see progress is made!

Congratulations Burt! Your recovery went amazing which means you must've kicked ass in physical therapy. This photo clearly shows hard work pays off!

Thanks for the kind words. You’re spot on regarding the PT. If anyone here is thinking about getting a total or partial knee replacement, bite the bullet and do the physical therapy. It will pay off in the end .
Grant thanks again !

Ah the recent monarch that ran away from me fairly early on - I couldn't justify the import fees! It sure is a beauty. Very impressed indeed

 

[Nickb123]

Tried on once, never to be worn again by me. Original RW.

 

[blackrat2]

Looks nice Nick, what’s the score with it??

Missing a pocket, seams coming apart, etc etc. however it apparently belonged to a gent w/the 52nd fighter group!

I keep reaching for the GW Rough Wear 27752. Love the feel of this jacket!

Brian, you've probably told us before, but what hide is that? Whatever it is, it looks great!

Jan, it's Shinki seal. Seriously thinking about RW 1401P in Shinki russet for the next one comin' up.

Cheers Nick, all looks to be “saveable” mind
