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

You're all far too curious ! :D
You'll see it in due course, probably in a few weeks. ;)

But I'm already thinking about the next one... one thing's for sure, it'll be a GW. I had considered a B-3 Rough Wear (like Jan's and Mr. Mike's... absolute beauties), but I don't know if I'll have many opportunities to wear it. The bulkiness also scares me a bit.
Come to think of it, I've only got one A-2: the BK Dubow. I like it a lot, but I'd like a second one, something a bit different.
I'm thinking of asking John to make me an A-2, giving him almost carte blanche. My only instruction would be to get an A-2 as close as possible to an original, with a patina equivalent to what it would have had just after the war. So clone combat, AAF decal (or other), maybe even a name tag (not with my name, but why not a tribute to a real pilot).

The idea is to let John have fun designing a jacket as if he were making it for the movies, with authenticity/historical credibility as the only criterion.)
These are just ideas for now...

This particular jacket caught my eye :

Can always rely on your good self for an eloquent description Kermit, you've got me excited now!

I will say this and I'm sure others will agree - This beauty belonging to Mr. M is one of the finest combat clones I've seen to date.

The colour contrast of the Italian hh, the ageing, the subtle fading on the AAF roundel... man, J.C's jackets need parental guidance warnings...

Good choice. But anything from John is a good choice.

Thanks :)

I didn't realize it was also a jacket belonging to MrMike. Well... this one + the B-3, what a lucky guy !
