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

GW G&F M-422a

The mouton collar on a jacket should be proportional to the overall warmth of the jacket, so on an intermediate jacket, the smaller collar only makes sense. It is very useful when there is a slight chill in the air, while a huge collar would be overkill.

Jacket looks good …. Wait !…. Yep .. Alden 405s look good too!

Colder today but I had to go out, so my old Real Mccoy D-1 saw the daylight.

Will not dare comment on the collar... Just think its a killer look and makes the D-1 kind of a special simpler chore jacket!

I understand the reasoning but this is just my problem, I just can't get past the small mouton/fur/sheepskin collars on jackets. They just always remind me of those awful loo seat covers.

I apologise to everyone here who have flying jackets with itty-bitty collars if they're insulted, but for me, if it's going to have a fur/sheepskin, etc collar, it needs to be a substantial one.

I guess Smithy and G-1s/M-422s were never meant to get along.

Once the loo analogies started, this came to mind in relation to the big collars:

They’re even nastier than the seat covers. A piss sponge

Hah, none taken. My post early wearing the B-15 was just joking back at you. Don't ever change, Tim.

Smithy: I know we completely agree on one thing, it is a joy to watch the Eagles crush the Cowboys!
Burt: I have a feeling you are happy too.

Circa 1954 ….. most of you guys were just a glint in your dad’s eye …… but the small G-1 style collar was already making an appearance on the jacket scene .
Not to mention the B-2 style caps
