Outstanding jacket ... - would you mind post a link towards the auction?

 

[Thomas Koehle]

Thanks, it's not me - it's my son. And yes, he is a musician not a pilot
Yea, looks like Lennon

Like I already said: John Lennon ...

Congrats for your family Dimi!

Thanks Tim. I don't know how long it will be but I really was miss this view and was glad to be back and and let me share this here

Back to jackets - as it turned out that yesterday was MA1's day not for me only.

Congrats Dmitry, but actually he looks like your younger brother!

Definitely looks like your younger brother, Dmitry. Mind you, is that TU-160 in the background? Where is that, Monino?

Hi @Lorenzol
It belonged to a B-24 pilot in SouthWest Pacific during WWII, here is the review of this jacket I did last year:

Perry Sportswear / A-2 (90th BG Jolly Rogers - 319th BS Asterperious)

Gentlemen Received this beauty in a grouping a couple days ago, superb Perry Sportswear / A-2 from 90th Bombardment Group - 319th BS “Asterperious”. The original owner was a B-24 pilot in South-West Pacific during WWII. The jacket is in amazing condition, leather is flawless, knits are genuine...

Yes, it's Tu-160's tail. Not in Monino (in Monino located Air Force Museum and there is no Tu-160 in collection). Photo taken on Flight Research Institute's base not far from Moscow.

Friday evening, deserted North Sea Coast, sunset, 6 °C, strong easterly wind, ELC B-3 Duo Tone size 44, underneath a Forest green USMC service sweater 100 % wool. Excellent piece of gear I dare say. Location is a jacket lovers paradise.

Saturday evening, northerly stormwind at 4 °C. Duffle coat with Aero's brown Cairngorm sweater. Also a grand piece of clothing.

Awesome jackets with a beautiful setting.
Now that’s social distancing at its best !

Thank you. I hope everybody on this net can enjoy a moment of jacket happiness in these times. I’ve been to a couple of really nice spots on this planet but I am drawn to the more rugged locations, I seem to prefer cold, clear air vice a muggy warmth usually associated with a paradise setting. Best wishes to all!
