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

But in the morning I have worn my new acquisition. With the last good review from coolhandluke I pulled the trigger on the Freenote riders jacket. View attachment 163535

Congrats! Where did you purchase it?

Autumn is back and it's almost too cold to really enjoy an A-2, unless you layer and wait for the afternoon sun.. Not stopping me from enjoying my Old Real Mccoy No-name W535-AC-27753 (Cable Raincoat).
Took a chance on it last year and couldn't be happier with the fit/cut, details and leather character.

Thanks! The denim is just a cheap pair of Bronson Lot 602 1969 selvedge jeans. They were less than $60 with a 10% off code and are worth every penny. Boots are Ralph Lauren roughouts. Photo was taken up in the mountains in Santa Fe, NM. I snapped a few shots this evening when driving down to pick up kids from their grandmother's place east of ABQ. Not much in the way of trees and foliage like up in Santa Fe, but beautiful nonetheless. It's been raining nearly non-stop over the last few days, so I haven't taken as many photos of the scenery as I would have liked.

Very nice Dany .
Just a suggestion but you can get a lot more wear out if your A2’s if you layer a lightweight fleece vest under them .
I use a cheap one that I got from Target for $13.00 US . It does the trick and I can wear my A2’s when I go up North in 30F weather.
Here’s one I use from Target . It’s a cheapo but 5 Star has a nice one for $99.00

Burt funny you posted this, as I've been looking at a nice japanese alpaca/cotton repro vest, USMC or USAAF (?) I am never sure who made them and for who.
Its 10 degrees celsius here and only going down... A-2's have been slowly sharing wear time with nylon B-15 and cotton B-10 and USN N-1 since the last week or so.
Soon it will be snow time anyways.

Oh yeah, at least for me. In a week or so the Triumph will be stored for winter... sniff...sniff...

Well consider that you could pick up one of these 5 stars for cheap money and have one of the guys stencil USMC or USAAF on it .

Works for me man. I bought a thermal wool top with Merano wool so that it wouldn't make me itchy. Same idea, put it under an A-2 and less bulky than heavier jackets.

I am unhappy with the design for now, as they added pockets, originals were pretty basic and naked.

Stencil... I was a printer for a small part of my life and then worked as a workshop assistant in a fabric printing school...

I don't imagine that is made in the states though?

Cool, I used to be an engraver. Used to use machines to engrave laminate signs, nametags, also used to engrave jewellery. Sometimes 20,000 dollar Rolex watches.

 

[Spitfireace]

Hermes Engravograph machine. Now that I think of it again, it wouldn't be a bad thing to buy. Get into engraving again. I just never thought there would be that much money by trying to start your own business.

Oh nice! I was also an engraver, intaglio, etching, lithography on stone/plate and silkscreen among other things... a very long time ago...

Pretty standard for this time of year here. Had the Irvin on to begin with and moved to the Barnstormer when the weather turned pear-shaped and it started with rain and sleet. Love these jackets.
