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

Suitably warm for the 37J1 today....had to take the picture quickly, loads of tourists around today in Vienna, all battling for the best selfie spots

Let us see that Barnstormer - i’m on to safe some money for another AERO civilian jacket and not yet finally decided which one to buy

The light is shocking here Thomas, it's virtually snowing and already quite dark so I'll take some snaps tomorrow when the light is better. In the meantime here's an older pic I had. I've taken the belt off here but in the photos tomorrow I'll take some with the belt and also some detail snaps.

For now to whet your whistle...

Cool looking coat/jacket!

Did you order your standard size or one up?

Especially like that patch

They are sized like an overcoat and to be worn over the top of other garments just like an old aviator or motoring coat Thomas so around one to two sizes larger than what you would wear suit size. So a 42'' fits like a 44'' or even a 46''.

Yes you are right...pic was taken in front of the Stephansdom. It was insane today, loads of tourist groups on the square in front of the dome and behind it where the Fiaker are waiting for customers...it was literally queue up, take your pictures or selfies and then move on again...

Thanks Alex, I did a short review with more detailed pictures

KOREAN WAR A. PRITZKER & SONS / G-1 (VMF -214 / VMF 312)

I started my interest in flight jackets around 2007 (gotta blame Top Gun for it) by that time I was 19 and broke (I still am lol) :D so my first jacket was a Ralph Edwards G-1 that I found by coincidence in South America where I grew up (I have no idea how it got there to be honest).... anyway...

Ha) I understood you brother..this Spivak was given to my brother and as far as I know he has not survived...it was about five years ago ( photo is old)))) In fact, in addition to the patch there was nothing good..it was made of nylon..hell of a very thin nylon and was afraid to breathe on it)))

 

[AlexLutov]

...I tried to find more photos of this jacket, but so far without success.

 

[AlexLutov]

if so, all that's left..
