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

There's a website selling vintage military whistles BUT, beware -- they decided the sound of one of the whistles would be a good intro for their homepage. o_O

My wife almost jumped over the back of the couch yesterday.

Oh yes they are good for that! I have a few genuine AM whistles and a few old Hudson / Acme police, ARP ones too.

A “Throw Back Wednesday” photo. An ELC Werber 1729 contract in a size 46. Still way too hot for jackets here.

For Throwback Wednesday, here's one from just about 3 months ago in May. GW Switlik M-422:

Tried to take a couples photo with @Nnatalie, but she got distracted at *just* the right moment:

That Switlik is another keeper for life from JC.
Now the second photo looks like a little payback from yesterdays “Dong” post she tagged you with;)

That’s a shame. I like the ELC Werber and the color of hide with the Carmel knits really looks good. Was yours too small or too large for you?
Too large. I ordered a size 40 (my normal size for A-2s) and it was uncomfortably large on me...

This M-422 is just crazy. I don't know anything about USN jackets, but if you had said it was an original, I would have believed it for sure.
Still a very nice grain on Natalie's A-2.
