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

Thanks Jan, you should see the original hh Bronco I picked up by pure chance.
Fits beautifully, is in really good condition overall, easy as a daily wearer... but Im still not sure what I will do with it.
Some will say leave as is, but there's reason to refurbish it, so it will last another 80+ years. Will share some pics soon.

I'm truly looking forward to seeing pictures of that original Bronco!

Yes can’t wait to see the Bronco
That’s a gnarly bit of leather in your close up pic Brett!

Yep, another shout out on the Bronco Brett, can't wait to see this one.

Werber 7823 size 40. Seems the Werber's longer sleeves were made just for me
Love the black Canadian Talon!
Im finding M-422As and earlier G-1s work well in a 40, and then later G-1s I need a 42 for a better fit.
The jacket is all original and close to mint, fantastic beefy goatskin, no thin spots at all.

Bronco. Original. Horsehide.
Very comfortable. And the lengths, near perfect.
No size tag, but recon its a comfortable 42...

Oh boy.... Brett... dude... do I start with the fit, or the jacket itself??

I don't think you find a better, more well suited original if you tried.

Whatever you do, please keep the refurb minimal as this is just perfection as it is.

And if you ever think of selling this, I'll come and examine your head myself!

Just wow!

This jacket is incredible. You need to create a detailed thread about it. Congratulations, it's just a super bomb!

As Dmitry said, a thorough review if that jacket in the Vintage section is in order!

FAN-FRIGGIN-TASTIC, Brett. That’s an acquisition that makes a collection, and the fit is perfect.

Thank you for the kind words, yes I love this jacket, of all the many A2's I've had over the years Dubow is my fave contract and fits me perfectly. The leather on this particular example drapes and ages like the original, it's a shame Platon doesn't make them anymore, luckily I managed to get hold of two.

@Flightengineer that Dubow is beginning to look like an original. Stunning!

Although I will not make the upcoming trip to Wright Patterson, I did patch up an Aero Bronco in preparation, It's almost jacket weather here in FL, B-Man and I probably had our last lunch in T shirts for a bit
