I have worn the same outfit to work for nearly 20 years! Yours is much cooler!

It’s in the teens (about -9 C), and the Sky King is doing a surprisingly good job of keep the cold out, all by its lonesome:

That mouton is really nice, Jan! Is the jacket long at all?

 

[mulceber]

Thanks - nope, it's waist-length just like an A-2 jacket. It's Shawn's take on the '50s civi bomber jacket.

True that - and ELC's Air Comfort, in turn, is a good tribute to post-war civi bomber jackets, with almost no alterations that I've been able to discern.

Little bit of dye on your zipper tape but ... hey it's a five star.

 

[flyincowboy]

Do'nt worry! it will go off with a small paint brush and some acetone.... Jacket is more brown the picture doe snot do jusice it looks reddish The next buff will be with another wool sox . By using a white one you will easily see the brown pigment.. wondering about using a sealant when i will get the wanted colour...
