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

[YoungMedic]

So the temps went down to 51F here today, and out came a recent find . An ELC BOB size 48. (I know … I’m pathetic… but it’s the only chance I get to wear an Irvin. I know Chandler I should have brought it to Montana )
John Lever…. This is the one you ask me about . View attachment 134233

Keep it handy, another cold one next week!

Great !! Maybe we go for an outdoor lunch !

Wearing Jan's BK Star again. If I look put out, it's only because I don't own any shearling.

May be no shearling, but the A-2 looks great!

The high temp was 63° F today, so it was perfect A2 weather. The next week +, not so much...

sold my 2 Irvins and B3 , all originals, a few years back as we were downsizing and I hadn't worn them in years, have an original B6 which usually suffices in SE England but been so cold lately I've been venturing out in my '40s Harrods teddy bear coat. If raining I've also got the open car version with leather upper (just to keep this post in the realms of vintage leather)

headwinds Church for today before the temp drops again this weekend.

Snowstorm hitting us hard today -- power keeps blinking off, so internet is hit & miss. Probably get to wear the N3 inside today.

Yes . Real winter coming for us tonight. 20cm and pretty cold week ahead. B-3 , Irvin weather. Except I don’t own one.

The clogs, they from Walkleys @newagegeezer

Honestly you lot without a decent sheepskin flying jacket, what a total disgrace.

So before we start saying you're not the sharpest tools in the shed, sounds like time to remedy that sad and frankly unacceptable misfortune

Well, when I get up tomorrow and get on the tractor to move snow, I’ll be wearing insulated coveralls. Much better than any sheep can offer . For real cold, nothing beats a one piece.

You mean a “Onesie”

I was going to say that but I wasn’t sure if that was a universal term.

 

[Pa12]

Even un insulated , regular coveralls make a huge difference. It’s the onesie thing. But I always get tall or long size. Prevents swallowing your nuts when you bend over.

You're talking to the man who lives inside the Arctic Circle in Norway

Yes insulated onesies/workwear are excellent for manual labour. All the Council workers, fishermen, etc wear them here over winter. I have a pair for working in really bad conditions. I also have a onesie winter sailing set which are beyond warm. But when you're not faffing around in your tractor or wrestling with replacing rooftiles in a gale, it's nice to have a sheepskin jacket. At least I think it is!
