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

I wonder if Shawn Ali has done any more with his B-10?

Haven't really heard anything about the B-10, but he posted about the new sheepskin hides and new leather deliveries over at FB.

These were overdue as far as I know.... So maybe his sources for the B-10 materials, especially the alpaca, might have difficulties due to Corona, too?

That is very helpful! I’ve bookmarked it for when they get some larger sizes in stock.

The Real Deal! Out of the curiosity, is it common to patch up the back nowadays? That’s why I love Navy CWUs, patches make them UNIQUE!

Hey Jorge, only a few active pilots patched up the back of their jacket and they would do it on only one of their jackets. Usually guys who were LT CDRs or higher. They would have been in two sea tour squadrons and one shore duty squadron. Maybe a Topgun graduate, two different Airwings, two different Aircraft Carriers, and possibly two types of a/c all of which could have a different patch. When I was on active duty I would say that most pilots would not put that many patches on their jackets. I was in the “fighter pilot“ community and believe it or not we would be more subtle with our jackets than the other communities. We let the a/c performance do the talking!

Conventionally called “WEP” from the words on the label, this is one of the favorite amongst USN/USMC pilots.View attachment 37973

That’s what I call facts, straight from the right source! Jim, you are a great addition to this Forum!

Completed 6 takeoffs and 10 landings.

That's tricky!

I have have taken off in Caribou but never landed in one. And I have taken off in a C-130 Herc more than I have ever landed in them!

Not happy here. London is boiling. I'm in shorts, too busy to get out, working at my Desk at home. No beach nearby, no surf, no jackets! Harumpf!
