I'll probably get run off the forum for this but I have to say that my Missus gets a bit iffy when I ask her to take a photo of me so that I can post it up on an online forum for other guys to critique which goes some way to explain why I don't make a habit of doing so. I'll probably also get chastised for not appearing clad in this or that flight jacket. What the hell.

We had lunch and did a bit of shopping at our local distillery today which provided the cue for a photo op beside my latest batch of something good .

Barbour Solway Zipper wax jacket & thermal shirt, Ratcatcher moleskins, Hoggs brogues and Mk1 "mess with my booze at your peril" face.

Ok, it's a joke so irate rants not required, but feel free if you must :)

Not as cold as the last few days and not nearly as much wind which helps so I could ditch the parka and drag out the old ELC Irvin today. I'd post a pic but everyone here has seen it more times than you could shake a stick at.

Experimenting with the re-speced Cockpit 37J1 as an underlayer.
Here it is with the Headwind cape A-1 with converted "Admiral" collar.

Conditions: brisk 45min walk, upper 20s, light wind chill. Stayed decently warm without overheating at all.
2 sets of knits seal in body heat quite nicely during exertion. Pull them down fully to avoid bunching.
The scarf is 2 ply silk and added just enough warmth as well as a bit of dash.

Vic's ELC Monarch has been worn nightly, as opposed daily, for the last few months. Starting to break in nicely and it is fitting like a glove. Lovin' it!
