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

[Marv]

As the UK weather isn't very wintery at present, I actually wore my GW Dubow 20960 today which I really shouldn't be at this time of year but looks like it's going to be another damp mild one again this Christmas, bummer !!!

Have to say the A2 is out pretty much each day so far this winter
Did freeze my butt off back in November out on a ghost tour round Guildford mind!

A super jacket.

for original N1`s there have been some different variants at least with the stencils and i`m sure due to the fact that the jackets have been produced at different companies there may also some deviations in weight possible

again checkered shirt - it`s 25 degree Celsius here in Mexico



testride on a HD - didn`t buy

What part of Mexico are you in? How expensive are HD's in old Mexico?

Love your sewing technique. Love to see post of how to sew patches!

I've been wearing my Buzz N-1 every day since I got it and I'm mightily impressed. As warm as an original and I now understand why they used that particular cloth for deck jackets. I've been caught in very heavy rain several times and it just doesn't penetrate the jungle cloth and also dries really quickly.

Today it is 10 degrees here in Kent and I have been wearing my BR Superior Togs B-10.

A great location for a ELC jacket.

Mostly my ELC B10 or my ELC 422A with a sweater under it

Toasty warm this morning in my Pike Brothers B-10 jacket (blue).. No time for pics this morning, but it's just another of the heavily-built, and historically inaccurate Pike Brothers B-10's out there.

 

[Marv]

must be B-10 day, I was wearing my ELC also.

Aren't sweating in that thing on a 5 mile walk? I was wearing my M445A yesterday and after walking 5 minutes in it I was literally drainched. Te,perature was around 6 degrees Celcius

**Copied from the 'What jacket Are You Wearing Today' thread at the 'Hat-Place'**....

Picked this one up from my Cousin for a VERY good price. He purchased it on eBay, and wasn't satisfied with it for whatever reason.

This is a sweet, vintage, custom deerskin jacket, made by Custom Coat Co. Berlin, Wisconsin. It has the unusual feature (to me) of a knit waistband, and zippered MC-style cuffs. Also unusual because it's in the A-2 configuration of a one-piece back, and two-piece sleeves. Must have been quite the large deer. Fits me like a bespoke jacket.

This must have been rarely worn, since the shell and lining looks like brand-new for around a 50 year old jacket. The grain on the deerskin is out-of-this-world, and also sports Talon zippers all around.. I love the cut of the collar as well. I may post a short review on it soon..

Excuse the stubble seen.. I'm growing out my beard some before styling / trimming..
