Looking good Jan, I'd kill for jacket weather, 33c it is what it is in Spain haha

If it didn't fit me like I wanted, it would be a sell. But that's me.

@Thomas Koehle who dropped me a line at the right time for my Monarch G-1. I just didn't feel comfortable in it anymore and Thomas seemed like the right person to pass it on to.

She is in good hands mate …

It’s a two-jacket kind of day. Since it’s in the low 50s (~12 C to the rest of the world), it’s prime original weather: United Sheeplined A-2.

Tonight no pockets, starting the 5 day Irish, Celtic musical festival, wearing a Irish tartan kilt, no pockets in that haha

and no underwear. Be careful with the ants.

That thing looks pretty wearable!

That thing looks pretty wearable!

It's the most solid one in my collection. Believe it or not, it's a depot re-dye (albeit, one in a lighter color), and, contrary to what Gary says in his book about the re-dye process ruining the leather, if the re-dyeing it seems to have helped preserve the leather - or it was just really good leather to begin with, not sure which.

I had a redye Rough Wear which was plain old russet. The process they used as you say seemed to preserve the leather- it was very solid. I recently almost bought a very good condition original which was perfectly wearable but then remembering the Original A2 Disease which I have ( a virulent form of thread aware, zipper tape paranoid, leather scratch abhorrent OCD ) I decided to pass. There is a level of repros now which allow carefree jacketeering- I have a Star which is proof of that.

Finally getting to wear the newly acquired pre-owned Buzz L-2. I'm hoping to swap over to the Buzz ST B-10 from the same seller for a bit this evening.

 

[Dany McDonald]

Nice fit on the Buzz L-2!

 

[coolhandluke]

Nice fit on the Buzz L-2!

Thanks Dany! Thankfully the fit on it and the B-10 were spot on.

 

[coolhandluke]

Here's the B-10 @Dany McDonald. Wearing it now, even though it's only in the low 60's F currently. High temperatures are going to be back in the mid-80's next week, so I have to take advantage of the slight cooler temps while I can.

 

[Dany McDonald]

Man they are cut for you, again nice fit!

Who made it?

Who made it?

Both are pre-owned Buzz Rickson jackets that were purchased off of eBay within the last few weeks.

They both look great- the B-10 especially. All the Buzz B-10s I've gotten have been too short. Yours is just right IMO.
