Jacket looks wicked nick

Sorry for the crappy photography skills (yet again)
It's 3am and I've just got back from a Punk/Metal gig in my near bullet proof "CHP" jacket
Not a bloody clue who made it....hell I don't even know the size(it's probably on the Teddy Bear liner that's long gone but I've managed to keep the snap on collar)
Can stand up by itself and it "feels" like horsehide when you first throw it on a cold morning.

Cool morning, so it’s a rare opportunity to pull out the GW RW.

Wore the ELC 23rd fighter group A-2 to Biggin Hill, had to take it off though as they wouldn’t let me on the aircraft with it on. Had to wear flight coveralls.

Perfect!

 

[mulceber]

Perfect!

Honestly, it almost puts me off buying more A-2s: I keep thinking "what's the point of another one when I'm just going to end up liking this one better?"

Yeah it doesn't get much better than that Jan. There's a very convincing argument that you need to take up a new hobby as you've reach the zenith of "jacket enlightenment" with that.

What about sports cars or waterskiing?

Gee, I dunno, waddaya think @Nnatalie, sports cars sound fun.

Where would you keep them?

Also, I’d make you buy yourself a massive life insurance policy first, because I know you’d want to drive them fast

Waterskiing it is then Jan!

Or flying?

A great jacket deserves a great accompaniment. And something with a nice prop (or four) would add something excellent to your pics - no doubt about it.

@Nnatalie

Better increase the life insurance policy then!

@Nnatalie

I think the life insurance thing is going to rear its ugly head

The defence rests Your Honour!

With Jans knowledge of jackets and Nats sewing abilities , I’m guessing a collaborative A2 jacket made by the “ JANNAT FLIGHT JACKET COMPANY “ isn’t far off …

I survived both the sports car and flying itch (auto-cross raced my 91 Miata), no extra insurance needed.

Only one car at a time and just a steady job to pay off the flight lessons*.

Take a chance Jan!

*My flight instructor was enamored with my Miata -- probably should have used a barter system for the lessons.

 

[Chandler]

How about all you bikers out there? Did'ja take out extra insurance?

 

[B-Man2]

I was a happy bachelor back in those days........No body cared if I had insurance .
