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

Maybe @Thomas Koehle will comment if he follows this. Mine doesn't. Interesting thing.

Jacket is on its way - should get hands on it Friday next week

Real Navy today, no USCG: Flying Equipment G-1, most likely made by Star (according to JC).

Already too hot for jackets, but I had to try on this one: original Foster 55J14 that I bought from @Nickb123

This one will be putting in a future appearance in the new version of the Navy Jacket Thread.

This weather's gonna give me whiplash. Sure will look enjoy a return to jacket weather though.

I can't believe we had to turn on the AC in April.

Wouldn't have had to, but we have no flow-through window ventilation in our condo. Makes the workout room a sauna without AC.

Its supposed to be Spring and I'm freezin! I gotta wear my A-2 in the house and my B-3 outside - what's up with that?

Hang in there in a couple of weeks we’ll all be complaining about the heat and not being able to wear our A2’s

Some of us already are.

Me too. Don’t we ever get “pleasant “weather anymore? Seems like it’s either in the 30’s c or the 30’s f.

Seems I wait all year for September

Yep. We usually get a week of spring around here, then full-on summer.

But next week looks seasonally promising!

Howdy Gang,
IDK if this has come up in the past, so I apologize if it's old news.
This label-less 6552 is on e-flog. A few anomalies, what with the AAF style wings and name plate, and the USN patch. The US stencil, tho, seems consistent with 6552s based on what I've read in this forum, if I'm remembering correctly.
That group was in the Pac, and lost their carrier, the Gambier Bay, in the PI. Group reassembled back in my area in Ventura, probably what's now Pt. Mugu NAS. Patch looks real enough, but a skilled artist could duplicate the flaking and cracking.
Also, that name doesn't appear on the VC-10 Composite Squadron 10 roster on the VC-10 site.
I'm not going to buy it, tho I will recreate the patch for my distressed 5-Star 6552.
