That's much better than a B-2 and suits you to a tee.

BTW I've never worn an A-2 with a Tattersall shirt but I really like the look of it, must try that one of these days.

Interesting. TBH, i always wear my A-2’s with a collared shirt. Tattersall, Barbour, Tyrwhitt or Viyella. Wearing an A-2 with a t-shirt means all the grease and grime from your neck rubs off on the leather and cotton and marks the jacket for life. I’d rather my washable shirt collar take the hit.
Plus, Whilst i’m not in Micawber’s league, i’m aspiring to be a very dapper gent !!

But it used to be MY town too and kind of still is. Used to go there quite a bit, usually as exhibitor but not for a few years so looking forward to it.

“Used to be....” deserter !! Lol

Had an Eastman Roughwear, I reckon they came up about 1/2 size small. The first one was changed out without a problem, second one I had for a couple of years. Sold it on as it was way too warm for most conditions. No gripes or complaints with the quality.

I've had two B-2 caps both from ELC, moved both on due to our UK climate..wore them with flight nylon rather than leather....car wise I've settled on a 595 Fiat Abarth to get my jollies.

 

[Carl]

Had a 3 in total ! Finally whittled ghem down to one now which has such a great "visor" soft as butter to get that "roll"

And i yours Sir ! A far better topic than my original. Although never say never: i like Mikey’s idea of wearing one with one of my L-2A’s ........

I get the blame for everything around here! I don’t recall suggesting anything of the sort. However, if it’s good enough for Bob Mitchum...

 

[Officer Dibley]

Apologies Mikey, you did say a B-3.
Bn1966 said with nylon . I remove the credit i gave you !! Lol

 

[Officer Dibley]

I've had a number of originals, did I wear them for day to day use - not in this life.

I’ve heard a rumour your view has changed Steve
