What the weathers like in your area? Is it jacket time yet?

Finally got a break from the heat and was able to wear an A2 this morning to walk the dogs. Last night got to wear one as well due to the strong wind. Been since early May since I was able to wear one and was itching to do so. Glad to see the cooler temps as the 90s and 100s were getting to me.

Leather Weather is here in central Iowa. Wore the Tall size Willis & Geiger A-1 thru 2 days of rain - the extra coverage and water resistant finish came in handy. The ELC A-1 (regular fit) is the choice for bicycling to and from school, and today I gave the ELC Werber 1729 its first outing of the season just walking around town. A seasonal wet 'n stretch may be in order.

Hey, Zoomer,

Good to hear from you again.

Cheers,

I've been wearing my ELC A-1 out and about shopping, but wore my BR B-2 to go to the pub recently. 3 deg. C in the mornings here last week.

Exact same temps as here Carlo, except ours is on the way up. Time to start considering selling a few.

Wore my ELC Monarch Saturday night. First time I've worn an A-2 out in I don't know how long. I've worn my Buzz Tanker a couple times, but mostly I've been wearing my Buzz zip deck jacket. It's been 50s, rain, and windy here for the past week, and looks like that's the forecast for a while. Normally that would be A-2 or tanker weather for me, but after last winter, I just can't take the cold anymore.

Wore my Tanker or M-65 all weekend camping. Camping in the cold, wet, and mud -- bleah. At least it wasn't snowing.

Probably put on an A2 today for running around - high of 63°F expected.

It was cold and windy on Saturday in Kent so I wore an Irvin for the first time since the spring. On Sunday it was warmer and the ELC Cable got an outing.

Same as above, B-10 weather on sat (at last) but mostly A-2 weather although generally I wear one all the time anyway.

As the maritime temperate climate in the UK is becoming much milder so the window of decent A-2 opportunity opens up.

I have to admit to looking forward to some more B-10 weather, sick I know but this RMJ Stagg is way cool! Also dragged out my trusty N-1 from the attic and looking forward to giving that a spin.

Hopefully it'll get cold enough to convince the wife I need a D-1 at some point.

Here in Southern Ontario Canada, it is 14 deg c during the day and down to 6 deg c over night . RW 1401 weather
Still not cold enough for us Canadians to put on a winter jacket just yet.
However, by the time ELC gets my Irvin done and shipped , it should be close to winter here.

In the the southern part of China, Guangzhou/Hong Kong area, it won't be "true" A-2 weather until about December/January that one can wear it fairly often. However, crank down the a/c temp control in the house and it can be worn all the time!
Regards,
Don

Prime jacket weather is just getting under way in the St. Louis area. Highs in the low to mid 60's most of this week. Mornings are in the mid-40's. I only have a G&B A-2 (and a G&B G-1 which I usually wear in colder weather) right now but hope to start a modest collection with a GW procurement sometime soon.

Gone, but not forgotten.
Jacket weather is largely finished here, but a cold snap had me wearing an A-2 today.

I'd been outside lurking on the corner, and a passer by followed me back into the shop to ask if I was wearing an Eastman. I was trying to tell him about Real McCoy's .... he was telling me how he went to school with Gary Eastman, and that he owned examples of the entire Eastman range.
