Thanks.Yes !! You nailed the smile !
The jacket looks great as well !
eBay find. Always hard finding the 46-48 jackets. Although with the G1 I think I could get away with a 46”

Sounds like you and I are the same size . Let me know when you have an urge to add to your collection. It’s time for me to thin the herd.Thanks.

You should seriously take him up on that, @atlasfields. I’ve seen Burt’s collection in person and it fairly bowled me over.

Nice, Love your B-3. I really want one, it's the next on my list...Was gonna be an Irvin until I saw the GW B-3 on you...man oh man!!!
I was gonna go with the ELC Perry today but Decided on the N-3B I just found at a thrift store, it's real deal coyote fur, and nice and worn in...A whopping $8, It still has the price tag on it to prove it...Got it on sale, all clothing was 1/2 price...so0000oooo it was like $2.50, I can't believe it though. I ain't even kidding ya!!
missing the tag tho, Not sure how to date it...but it's got the Oval shaped Talon #10 zip.
It's got the AAF shoulder decal and the real deal felted fur lining, man!!!! It needs it's own thread almost.
Anyway..point being, I really REALLY needed the hood up today with the chill and wind condition, not to mention hand warmer pockets too. Ahhh Glad I picked that one today over B-3. Pics soon, I am very overtired these days lots of irons in all kinds of fire's
Ok well, you look awesome in that GW B-3 man!!

Scratch the "almost" - it needs it's own thread - I'd love to see it.
Oh and thanks for the comments on the B-3 - it's one of my favorite jackets.

No, not a a penniless gentleman of the road seeking shelter, it’s me! I had the audacity to wear an Eastman jacket while doing the usual equine chores this morning. It’s enough to give a repro jacket geek a heart attack, what with wearing a top tier maker example in the rain and also working with mucky animals eh. As you know I rarely worship at the altar of ‘thou shalt only wear thy jackets in sterile indoor conditions protected from rain, wind and snow’

I did the same yesterday, well, not exactly equine chores, but rather canine ones
Took the ELC B-6 for a long walk through the wild woods of Lower Austria with our two Hovawarts...
at times it looke a bit like E&E as the walkways were more ehm just barely noticeable ways than walkable alleys, but the doggos liked it and so did I

Thank you, I have extended the compliments to her in the form of some treats...
she is two years old now and currently in a phase of "cerebral development" (lets call it that way
) so life with her can be a bit challenging. luckily, our older Hovi is very relaxed and settled and helps calm down her younger sister quite often (but also stirs her up for some high powered chaos in our flat or outside )... and a pic from yesterday from Bella as well...
... and now, back to the regular schedule program of flight jacket madness ...

Something different … a low cost option from What Price Glory for a USN 37J1. It’s goatskin and it’s very nice. The color is a very dark brown. You can see more photos of it here
