Actually saw a bit of a documentary on that poor kid. Works in a Walmart or something (I know, shocking) Received very little money for his part.

That RW in the cockpit. And those autumn colours. It doesn't get any better than that.

It’s a shame it was overcast. Looks even better on a sunny day.

I'll Echo Lorenzo, PA. This is why I've kept banging on at you about photos... Every single one's been killer. Keep em coming.

Well a week from now the landscape will be pretty bleak. Going to get windy next week which will get rid of all the leaves. This is my favourite time of year. But a bit depressing because I know what comes next. Cold white shit for 5 plus months.

It makes me think to myself PA... surely a nice toasty B-3 would be both very practical and would earn it's keep, living in your neck of the woods?Well a week from now the landscape will be pretty bleak.

I’ve had a b-3,b-6 and Irvin over the years but they always end up as closet queens. I find them too restricted and bulky. And I haven’t flown through the winter months in many years. We do get some cold snaps, usually in January, where it goes down to -25 or so, but probably no more than a couple weeks of it. I’d say the average temperature for most of the winter is -5 ish.

I'd have thought an average winter temperature like that would be prime shearling weather but I can't argue with your reasons - if they don't work for you, they just don't.
Out of interest - what is your go to winter outerwear when it turns sub-zero like that?

Now that I’m retired I keep my ass in the house if I can. If I do have to go out and clean the driveway etc, I’ve got company issued cold weather gear from my airline days. Parka, insulated coveralls etc. I can recall a few nights on the ramp wearing long johns, insulated coveralls, and a parka, all together. Rare though. And when it happens, operations would slow to a crawl.

Nice. I know it's work but I'm sure some fun memories of being out in the elements like that. A solid (and I do mean solid) parka is arguably the best, most practical piece of winter kit anybody can own.

For sure. Wasn’t all misery. There were some exciting times. I can remember times when we were so cold we were laughing about it. It just seemed ridiculous to be out there. Sometimes that’s all you can do. Laugh it off.

It's a little chilly out, and my Bronson MA1 is perfect for it.
I'm wearing it right now as I type this.
Hard to see but I have a repro of my late father's old USAF squadron patch (he'd worked on F86Ds in the late 50s) sewn to it.

May I ask what your thought are about the Freenote Jacket and which size has yours?Sorry, not a great photo, but here's my two purchases from the last couple days of shopping in Santa Fe. A Freenote RJ-1 waxed canvas riders jacket from Standard & Strange and a Stetson Stratoliner from Santa Fe Hat Co. I overpaid for the Stratoliner out of ignorance (it's my first real hat of any decent quality), but I'll chalk it up as part of the experience.
Freenote RJ-1 Jacket - Rust Waxed Canvas (2022 Edition)
The RJ-1 is one of the OG Freenote pieces, returning year-after-year with slight revisions and tweaks as the brand has continued to grow and develop. Made from a 10oz Martexin waxed cotton canvas, they're as close as you can get to a leather jacket without wearing any actual leather, featuring a...standardandstrange.com
Stratoliner Fedora
An icon of the Stetson brand since 1940, the Stratoliner fedora takes its inspiration—and its name—from an aircraft that helped kickstart the golden age of innovation. The same year, Boeing introduced the first-ever commercial airplane with a pressurized cabin. Called the Stratoliner, it was...stetson.com
