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

[Smithy]

Bad luck Tim, that's the second broken minor digit I've read about in the last week. Hope it fixes soon.

Thanks mate. It's not a big deal and you can't do much about them anyway, I just taped it up to the ring finger. Playing cricket I've broken two fingers and another one I broke in a tackle playing rugby. My daughter gleefully announced when she saw it, "now you're going to have a collection of wonky fingers!" ;-)

Brrrr dropped to -10c so back into my woolly bully friend
As I go to the gym and the dentist but it’s beside a great selfie spot

Is it seal brown? Or it is the lightning?

It’s a dark russet.

Gorgeous B3 but can you do me a favour post a pic like I have as I not sure if my snap down buttons are in the correct place... thanks Art

Sure, I'll get you a picture, probably tonight!

I would like to do another small review comparing the zippers on both ELC. Talon vs Crown

Well the Talon one is just another level. No wave effect and i can close it with one hand only without even having to hold the jacket with the other hand...it is so smooth!!

The Crown just sucks :/ even closing it with both hands, it gets stuck several times on the way up

Can someone tell me which model is exactly the Talon one?

Please see photos below

Brilliant, love it!

-6 here this morning. I made it in an A-2 and jumper although I was only going from the car to building. I would have needed my Irvin if I was running around outside for any length of time.

I can't jumping so fast, so B-15A instead of A-2 today in my day off , -1C here.

Wore my B-15 when I did the Doggo walk in the morning but strangely, the 15 felt a little too warm...the B-6 turned out just right for work...

Cool patch

Thanks, this japan repro patch made in early 60s in Japan as well as 41st TCS patches that were used in the late 40s when this squadron was based on Tachicawa Air Base. This is the patch that 41st TCS crews used only when they were based on Tachikawa AB not far from Tokyo (not the official approved 41st squadron patch ).
SQN had C-47 and C-46 planes in this period, the winter weather was very wet and the rains gave a lot of mud - this is reflected in the patch theme : "angry" C-46 plane, trying to take off and snatch gears from the mud of the Tachikawa's runway . It is unlikely that was a lot of mud on the runway, but on the taxiways was probably. Fuji Mountain on the background.

A picture were the color is visible. But it's really different depending the light.

I agree it's one of the best looking patches there is. Your B-15A really does look great Dmitry and you couldn't get a more perfect fit, just spot on. You've got that nice roll-neck jumper that you bought a year or two back from a crowd in the UK. Who did the jumper again?
