Hey ! Gizemo is already a classic here ! The fabric seems very souple and aged , very cool ;) . Tanker boots all the way and the spiky hair cut gives you a "Punky" style ! I'm not laugin' at you , I used to wear an Iroquoi hair cut since my 14 to my 30's ;)

Imagine that !…. Actually using an A2 for its intended purpose ;)
The old timers were correct in their assessment. “You were either freezing or sweat your ass off.” Can’t wait for my GW Combat Clone. This jacket is due for a new liner and knits. Worn through, frayed, and torn. The picture gives a false sense of “newness”. It’s shade between Russet and Seal Brown to my eyes. This was after a fresh coat of oil last summer.

Hi MB Medic!
I totally get the hot and cold thing. I flew as an observer in a variety of small aircraft years ago and could never get the jacket thing right. However, I finally found a jacket that fixed the freezing part when flying at altitude. I got my hands on a commercial LL Bean Shearling flight jacket that really was the best flight jacket I’ve ever owned for flying . It kept me warm at altitude and was still light enough to carry around and to travel with. You should consider giving one a try if you can find one .

The brown buttons are accurate to some of the B-10 contracts (not that that negates your point, just relevant information).

Thanks for that detail Jan - didn’t know before or simply didn’t realise when checking on pics of originals. Maybe it is just the fact that I mainly have repops in mind when visualising a B10????
