Szia Greg,

nice jacket with some nice wear ...

Nice plane also

 

[Greg Gale]

Actually, a lot of grain has popped out, at places it looks like it's decades old. So you say it's a good thing? Especially at the right inner elbow, I guess that's the arm I move more? (No Dong jokes, please ) Here's a pic of the right sleeve as well as a pocket flap.

Totally agree. Nice jacket and nice photo.
But Falke not plane - this bird is german motor glider
I have long said that Greg now needs Mustang or in extreme cases Kittyhawk.

Greg
That’s what we’re all shooting for. Looks outstanding.

Same story with my Star. She very quickly develops grain.
I'll be back home tuesday and take some pics of mine post-season for comparison.

Are those pics of your ELC Star Greg? Mine is having grain pop out all over the place too. I’m very very pleased with it.

If the pics are of your Star your stitching looks khaki coloured in the pics but mine is a red brown.?

 

[Greg Gale]

Yes, it is mine. According to the ELC site it's supposed to be havana brown, which it is. I took those pics under a strange, artificial light.

Finally got a cool day today. Only 38% humidity and upper 50s so walking around with my daughter wearing my Roughwear 42-1401P

Since I wrecked the zipper of the BR L-2B a couple weeks ago, I am now often wearing the L-2. It actually logged like 20 minutes of flight time today. Autumn is unusually warm here, so the MA-1 and B-15's are still on their hangers.

 

[Thomas Koehle]

been to the small lake about an hour from my current house today the last time before I finally get back home to Germany in about 5 weeks

even here in Mexico autumn arrived and it is getting colder so the B10 was a good choice

"MONTEJO" beer random ballcap from the next gas-station (less than 5 bucks)

BRONSON B10 in size XXL / 44

Pike Brothers Roamer pants

Redwing "Spirit Lake Boot" made for INDIAN size 12 (I usually wear RedWings in 11.5 but that particular model is available in even sizes only)

TIES - yes I know you`d recognize that "pinkie" thing in my right hand in an instant - that`s the bat to throw my 3 dogs their tennis-balls

B6 weather here today...combined with Aero A-10 gloves in russet and my working trousers (as I am night shifting today at the airport. B6 is the Eastman RW contract B6 patched up with the Blakesleewaffe 4th FG ELMC patch

 

[Thomas Koehle]

Nice B6 buddy

Awesome We need to start a B-6 appreciation club!

 

[Griffon_301]

Thanks for the compliments
And yes...that club sounds like a great idea!
Having a B3 and an Irvin as well, I wanted something lighter to wear and the B6 is just perfect for that purpose. I am thinking about putting together a short review of it as I was wearing it during my trip to Duxford in September and found it perfect for the prevailing weather conditions...and it looks great as well I got quite some compliments for it in London and Duxford and I do love that jacket )

 

[B-Man2]

Great looking B-6, with a fit to match!

Not at the moment, it's a throwback to 2016. I just remembered this photo reading the new sheepskin thread. In Hungary we do get chilly winter days when it's perfectly OK to wear my WPG Irvin. Not a lot of such days, though. I certainly couldn't justify a grand sitting in the closet in the form of an ELC for the most part of the year.
