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

[Jtrob]

Perfect jacket weather today, but couldn't take advantage of it due to work appointments and the wardrobe that entailed. However, I did receive my M-387G gloves from MASH. Fit is perfect with the size 10.5, so their size chart was spot on in my circumstance. Thanks again @mulceber for the heads up on the MASH gloves. Yoshi at MASH was also very helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

Those look nice!

Definitely gonna have to get myself a pair of those. I've admired them for a while.

IMO, they are well worth the asking price. I absolutely love the flared wrist that accommodates a knit sleeve cuff.

You can see how these would be a perfect match with the M-444 (jacket they were meant to be paired with):

Wish someone would produce some decent repro A-9 Gloves.

It's been too bloody humid here to wear even a light canvas jacket, so here's a shot of my new(ish) black goatskin "Tommy jerkin" that I'm part way through replacing the horrid plastic buttons

A Pogy is slang in our military for a REMF/service person who is so far from any potential conflict haha!

Think military lawyers and logistics personnel who don't deploy outside a major city in their home country

Didn’t know that mate.

The POGY actually existed first as SS-266 - commissioned 1943 - scrapped 1959 and SS-647 commissioned 1971 - scrapped 2000

Out in the Aero 38-1711-P, the jerky horse hide is pretty robust stuff and this thing has some very high arm holes, will want a bit of breaking in..

Pogy here is unemployment insurance

Who would have thought it had so many different meanings all around the world

I’m assuming in reference to the ship that it was named after someone. As for unemployment insurance here, I have no idea of the origin. But as long as I can remember it’s been unofficially called pogy. “Got laid off and collecting pogy”. Bit of a generational thing though as I noticed the younger crowd calls it UI now.
