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

[Flightengineer]

Those are fantastic Dmitry, well done! Your jacket is going to look amazing with those on.

Thanks, besides patches I plan may be something else, when I finish this project I'll show here.

 

[Smithy]

Look forward to it mate!

Just received my IWM escape scarf today. I'd gone over to the IWM site but they were currently sold out so I got it from Amazon UK, saved £10 and it arrived in two days to boot!

Really beautiful quality as well.

which one did you get if I may ask? the same one as London Cabbie? - I might be tempted to get one myself now...

Yup, the one with Holland, Belgium, France and Germany Phil. They're really nicely done.

Thanks for the heads up on these Cabbie!

Oh and definitely get it from Amazon UK instead and save yourself 10 quid! I bet their shipping is faster than the IWM as well ;-)

Thanks a lot for the tip I have their Bader scarf and like it quite a lot... How is the quality?

Very good. It's well printed too, not fuzzy or out of register.

Grabbed the AVI A-2 today. This is the 2019 version (currently still on website). Very light and comfortable A-2. I had the slightly darker seal knit, replaced with seal knit from MASH.
Byson UK did the work, which was… ok.
I don’t think this version is as Bronco-esque as the V1 and V2 jackets, but its my favourite. So easy to wear.

I am looking to get the cuff knits on my ELC G1 done, do you recommend Byson...?

Used Byson a couple of times, ok work. They seem to do a good job on cuffs, but so-so on waistband.
You can also try Donna Howard, she does great work (used to be with Cirrus making flight jackets) - [email protected]

Did you manage to get it without the dreaded "MOMS"?

I never have problems getting stuff via Amazon UK and this was the same. No tax whatsoever. I do buy a lot of books via them and never get hit with it.
