Possibley not one of my better choices, going to the beach in the pouring rain wearing a B-3, dogs enjoyed it though. View attachment 28657

Paddy could be in those dunes somewhere. Keep an eye out for tracks!

Yep. Christmas present to myself from myself.
wanted one for a long time and since I hope our skiing vacation will be cold and icy...

If the other half works out the price things will be icy alright!

... she bought herself a new car... so there i am the one who has to work out the pricey thingies...

And here are the fit pics. The jacket is fairly stiff but I assume wearing it will loosen it up a little. It is a size 38. I have tried the 40 before but that just hung like a rag from my shoulders.
I still have rooms for a sweater underneath.

Jacket lottery continuing today...L-2 for the morning walk with the doggos...the L-2 was a little too light though with the wind that is prevailing currently so for the trip to work later in the afternoon I will switch to something warmer, A-2 maybe or B-6...

This weather is really crazy

116 Degrees today. Nil jacket required. Prepping for thunderstorms. Might need an M-1951 parka..

 

[Smithy]

...forget the parka, all you need in that kind of heat is a pair of undies and a cold beer...

Beyond beers with the cricket. Icy Egg Nog and Tiramisu... While perusing Yahoo Japan RM and BR for the next 'get'.

One of the things I miss most about the Antipodes, the Boxing Day test match

yahoo Japan auctions are the next ebay and my current fascination. Ianded this Buzz for $500. Size 44, unbelievable. Should be here in a few days. Have been reading all about VF-111 and the F-8 Crusader in the meantime!

It is and he will! It's in good nick too!

Thanks Gents. It's a really lovely jacket but it is a very good early repro of an original. If this was original in this condition you're looking at over £1000 GBP. This is often mistaken for an original and isn't the lightweight screenprinted rubbish churned out today. I really love it so it'll be a reluctant parting. Best, Paddy.

I would have sworn that was an original, the colours look bang on from here Paddy!
