Had a stinking cold the last few days so I've been on the sofa wrapped up in my S.F.A.D.
There is a pic, but you don't want to see my red nose.

I agree. Started out doing that, then changed to a more comfortable cut. The way Nick's new Aero fits him can't be beat IMO. That's the perfect WW2 look!

Way too kind. You seasoned gents totally knock it out of the park with your jackets! I'm a mere groupie!

Nick, it really looks nice on you, indeed! Looks almost like original, nice leather, lots of grain and charm. And it looks comfy. Congrats!

That's nice. Very nice, Brett! Looks perfect on you. Masterpiece from Platon at his best!
P.S. Its collar looks just gorgeous!

Grant, you make every jacket look good. You wear std sizes?

 

[Grant]

Bahaha, thanks man. Yep, normally take a standard sz 42 but sometimes have the Jimmy Stewart look with shortish sleeves, but could care less!

 

[Brettafett]

Neither should you mate, looking good.
I have had a BK 1755 on the way for a while now..... Already thinking of another A-2 ...

I think this is the right attitude with these jackets. Perfection is an allusion. How much happiness do we deny ourselves constantly obsessing over fit?! I see these more as historical (or historically-influenced artifacts) we wear; therefore it's much less about the model wearing the jacket than it is the jacket and the model. If it's in the general ballpark I say enjoy it!

Gary's winterized 27752 was a Christmas gift from the lady (yep, I'm one lucky dude). The wool liner material is identical in color to my original M-41 which is kinda cool, and really does keep you warm.

 

[Grant]

Couldn't agree more Nick. Plus, kinda looking like Jimmy is cool in my book.

Newly received GW Aero 21996, thank you Ties. The fit was a gamble from the beginning, as the sleeves and length were at the edge of what I normally consider short.. with the jacket on you can see that both the sleeves and length come up a bit short, wearable for me, (imho) but short.
The jacket is otherwise perfect and lovely in every way.

That one looks good whether taken in an elevator, bathroom, or a hanging on the back of a bed post ( if a guy happens to get lucky)

We had a taste of that here in the US last week.
I can’t imagine what that would be like on a consistent basis. You guys up there are real troopers!

We're actually pretty mild here by comparison Burt as we're on the coast. Drive an hour inland and it's at least 10 degrees colder!
