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

[Lorenzol]

Only jacket was a dressing gown for me today as I think I've gone and gotten COVID again

Bummer. Here is wishing you a speedy recovery, Tim!

 

[Mr. Rawky]

Thanks Rawky!

Boots are RW and the jeans are cheap GAP...I am always amazed how beautifully they age.

I seriously need to get myself a pair of RW. My A2 jackets deserve it

Burt, I love it

Perfect for shagging golf balls!

I've got a fever at the moment so excuse the Throwback Wednesday snap of a modern, fancy pants parka but right now the -20 that this pic was taken in sounds like heaven. At least it's not all "modern" as the scarf is a heavy wool Royal Flying Corps one...

Yup had 3 shots. Got Omicron earlier in the year which for me was just really like a cold apart from the first day when I had a bit of fever.

This feels a bit different, got body ache and headache. Saying that it might just be flu. although we've got CV running in the family at the mo, so I won't be surprised if I get two lines on the test tomorrow morning.

I'm finding gallons of tea with honey and a slug of Scotland's great gift to the world in it seems to be helping though.



Thanks Steve!

Amazing. Risked 3 experimental DNA altering jabs to dodge getting a cold & has subsequently gotten a cold twice this year. Now relying on very unscientific home remedy to lessen the mild effects of the very thing you got jabbed for. That myopia is hilarious !
I guess that's why some folk can't see what's really going on with convid, banking, that bollix in Ukraine etc, etc. No independent thought.
Be interesting to call back at Christmas & see who's still about and what they are preaching then.
In the meantime, keep those elevator selfies coming & spend more time researching pocket scallops than international affairs.

Stunning Jan..the collar sits really well on you and stunning leather

Monarch collars eclipse the rest. 100%!

Newly received FiveStars Monarch A-2... straight off-the-rack size 48 in "Pull-Up Horsehide" .

Being a fervent advocate for FiveStars' goatskin, this is my first attempt at their horsehide. Very soft and comfortable jacket!

More details to come...

I was watching that jacket on Ebay, glad its going to be brought back to life. Good luck with it.

@Wz1999 , are you doing the resto work yourself?
Where will you be obtaining the knit parts from?
Thanks

I wondered if a vljer got that rw. I threw a coupla bids at it, but it went higher than expected.. agreed that it looks to be a solid resto candidate. You might be able to stabilize the zipper tear with a small piece of book binders tape instead of replacing the whole tape. Though barely noticeable, the teeth on the m-39 talon are slightly smaller then those on the later talons.

I will have someone to restore it. I’ve got the brown knits and NOS Talon zipper from MASH Japan. But, I prefer the knits on my GW Doniger.

GW goatskin today, rough wear 18091
View attachment 82065

The RW 18091 always makes me think of signing in to a goatskin A-2 from John as well . Extremely cool look and fit Philippe! Were did you acquire the AVG shirt btw? This is equally stunning and makes a terrific combination
