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

[Smithy]

It's a full custom design / pattern. I used various design features from vintage and repro aviator jackets and combined them into one design. The ball and chain chest zipper is a 30s original, as are the corozo buttons (I hand dyed them to match the color of the jacket).

I'm generally not a big cross zip guy but that's a doozy and the fit is absolutely and utterly like a laser on point.

Cooled off here today and started to feel like autumn/fall is on her way. Had the 1st gen AVI Bronco on for a wee while. Sorry old photo but you get the drift...

Also had the Service Shoes out...

Funny that, while going through my collection (I don’t count anymore) nothing too financially glamourise in there either,
thought I would post my AVI Bronco in HH…

Is that the goat in russet @Smithy ?

This is actually the seal Stew.

This is a first gen AVI Bronco and the colour is a really beautiful dark milk chocolate shade. One of the nicest I've seen, and yup it's goat.

The colour on these first generation AVI seal Broncos is IMO the best colour they did. It's a shade or two darker than what I captured in that snap. I'll see if I can take a better pic to show the colour.

I tried to take a new pic Stew but I think I need to try in natural light.

Anyway for what it's worth, here you go mate...

Clearly that jersey can be ID'd as trash and your doing the right thing using it as a rug protector

Apologies to Burt for jumping in!
Just curious how you became a fan of that team.

I played one season American Football at uni as a break from rugby and I've loved it ever since. Coach was from Philly and my favourite sandwich is a Philly cheesesteak so there was only one team I could follow

I was about to buy a Malcom Jenkins jersey a few years ago, but luckily I procrastinated because the Eagles traded him a few months later. Unfortunately, I still have my Antonio Brown jersey. The Steelers are my first love, but my wife likes the Eagles so they are my second team. Fortunately, the Eagles and Steelers are not really rivals despite their proximity. And cheesesteaks are the best. Luckily we are not far from Philly.

My old neighborhood

In South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
For our international brothers
Pats Steaks is the original home of what’s known as the “ Philadelphia Cheese Steak Sandwich “. If you’ve ever had one ( pictured above ) in your home country , well this place is where it all started back around 1930.
