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

[Smithy]

Another humid, hot and rainy day here, and wayyy to muggy for any type of jacket but......
I thought some of you might want to join me in a salute to the year 2020 and all of the amazing things it has brought with it this year!!

edit : Thanks to Mulceber for suggesting the idea!

Burt, that t-shirt is just brilliant, it's also bang on

This pretty much sums it up too...

What cap is this...? Thanks

Looks like a HBT cap...pulled real low...

Brilliant Thankyou, for the link too...

It's not a HBT cap... It's the M-1943 wintercap. Has earflaps which you can pull down when it gets cold. See this link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/WWII-G-I-M1943-O-D-COTTON-FIELD-CAP-WITH-VISOR-/143126423503

The Dutch army copied this cap without the earflaps... Very sturdy and comfortable caps to wear.

Cheers

strange coincidence, rainy morn here in London UK, so grabbed a cap to wear on walk to shops, of course rain stopped almost immediately, just got in and thought I'd look up this site as I hadn't for the many days of heatwave here and saw the posts on the M1943 cap..... type I'd just been wearing.... picked up about 50 years ago, used to wear it on the jeep and digging in the garden etc etc, a great all round casual cap now, just taken a couple of pics

Ohhh, here in Florida it is ridiculously hot and humid!!! Just imagine wearing an A-2 in the Caribbean, well it is exactly the same right now! I just took a pic and took it off, honestly I never have the chance to wear them here.

That was my Townsville experience for three postings.

Loving the opportunity to jump between Tankers, N-1 the Monarch and back again on a daily basis.
