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

[flyincowboy]

What an amazing combo beautiful jacket and nice jeep !

 

[Micawber]

You wear it well!

thank you but I'm just the meat in the sandwich

Wow -- cold Spring in East Anglia?

Yesterday was shirt sleeve order when we took the Jeep to a local village fete and for a short ride after but it soon gets chilly in the evening still. Today, while sunny, is chilly riding in that thing, well at least I thought so. Once parked up, sitting on a bench outside in the sun with a beer in hand it was back to shirtsleeve order and the jacket was stowed in the Jeep

 

[Micawber]

Yeah, while I do think ELC collars tend to be larger than is accurate, I'd be lying if I said I don't think it looks cool as hell.

Can't say I entirely agree Jan as based on originals I owned or had through my hands back in the mists of time they varied so much. The last original I wore regularly when driving the last MB I owned 25 years ago had a collar that when the straps were done up my eyeballs hardly peeked over the top. I think one has to be mindful that the jacket I'm wearing is not zipped right up to the top, if it were the collar points would be pulled inward away from the shoulders.

Yeah, even in the dead winter of a Chicago January, my Avirex B-3 seemed overkill.

That said, I love the weather that turns from sunny and warm to cool and snuggly in the evening.

It was always a joy to drive back from the pub with the top down and a flight jacket in my roadster.

Life's little pleasures.

A chilly morning here, took out my ELC B-10.

I used to hit the like button in this thread all the time as I used to religiously trawl through it, so I apologise if anyone here has thought that I suddenly didn't like the jackets they were posting. The simple reason is that I only come on here a couple of times a week and I don't have the time to go through multiple pages of posts so I only look at the current page. An admission of forum laziness but I don't have as much time for surfing online as I had.

With that out of the way, it's been milder here and I've been living in the old Wested Raiders. My cheapest jacket but the one that has garnered the most comments from friends and strangers alike.

Photo? You've all seen it dozens of time so I thought that I wouldn't bore you with yet another snap of it

No pics but my wore M421a today - sadly not an original but my Polo RL repro that for the life of me I can’t remember who but came via a lead here on VLJ - I know Ken at Aero also got one too! Sleeves a tad long but actually look ok with a ‘turn up’!!

Change it back, it’s not worthy.

Whoa, an ELC and a GW nude sunbathing while holding hands?! Mods, might be time to lock this thread.

Beautiful morning to fly. This old girl and I have been flying together 37 years this year. Longest I’ve had anything. Including a wifeView attachment 110765View attachment 110767

Right smart looking jacket. The old gal's a beauty, as well.

I just received a Jorge gauge size 46 Ralph Edwards 'c' pristine, unused, brand new! I found it with the help of a dear friend.

These don't have the Kennedyan panache of the 'B's but they're still way cool! It's such a hoot finding these brand new jackets- I envy Jorge who does it all the time. Thanks Dear Friend!

 

[B-Man2]
