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

Art the B3 is on the very very close edge of being to small for you I would not go smaller ! stay with the 44" .

I've been dailying the Aero B6 lately now that it's well into winter here in Wisconsin. The newish kitten seems to have taken a liking to it as well!

Sweet looking little guy...

Mild this morning, 0 Celsius, no wind, little snow so I broke out the old girl and my old Dees scarf.

It's turned mild and damp in London, so popping out to post the Irvin I sold on ebay in an unusual (unlined & no USN stamp on left breast, anyone know what it might be ?) post WW2 N4 type jacket from USS Kearsarge - a CVA33 long-hulled Essex class aircraft carrier launched May 5 1945 and commissioned March 2 1946 served in the Korean War and Vietnam War then scrapped in 1974, according to Wiki.
Along with a pair of original chinos, nice and baggy as I like my trousers. I've never had much repro stuff, as original was reasonably (?) priced in the 60s/ early70s but still have a no-name cheapo A2 repro that I used on the bikes , didn't warn to take chance of ruining an orig. and a B.R AN-J-3A from 20 odd years ago, it's still stiff as a board as I've only worn it about 3-4 times.

Navy day today...blue rollneck sweater, M-422a, ELC USN gloves and BR blue watch cap...

Art, that B-3 looks insane...stay with that size, as said a trim looking sheepskin looks ridiculous, even lighter shearlings as the B-6 and D-1 look way better when they are a little bulky..plus that's so great for layering underneath...

 

[Grant]

Keepin warm with the B6 over the A-2

 

[Griffon_301]

Grant, are these ELC RW jackets?

 

[Grant]

yeah, the B6 is new, the 27752 is an oldie but a goodie given to me by my better half.

 

[Griffon_301]

That's a great combo! Takes layering to a whole new level

Your jacket looks to be a USN Vietnam era A2 jacket. Not to be confused with WWII A2 jackets. Hope that helps
Cheers

Sporting around in a Headwinds A1 Racer model today. Looking a little portly (Fat) in this one but I had a jumper on underneath it........ (Sure)

 

[A2 B3au]

Wow art I love that RW!! Look at that grain!! What’s the story on the patch? Did you put it on? Was it a bomb group from the war?

I know chaps it is far more wearable and less restrictive. Artie are u familiar with an artist called josh of “Joshs flight jackets” I got it from him as it is and it’s the 511th bomb squadron the ball boys is a term used for those who have completed 25 missions thus known as a lucky bastard

I'm wondering about an ANJ3 and that looks good. How do you get on with it?
