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

[Saint-ex]

What size is you jacket @Lord Flashheart ?
Pockets seems so small on mine compare to yours !!!!
Mine is a 52. sleeves are a bit too long.

Yours is really nice indeed.

Great Rough Wears guys. Also, like the Capri Bell Saint-ex!

A day in my *edit* GW Roughwear 23380 and seaside maskView attachment 42581

Great jacket and great pic... Really highlights your eyes!

AVI LTHR 'Bronco-esque' A-2. Stands proud among its more high-end family. This is such a great little jacket, especially with its light-weight goatskin. So easy to wear, perfect for those slightly nippy mornings/ evenings, at the change of seasons, when its often too warm for a regular A-2. This jacket gets the most wear over the summer months...

 

[Greg Gale]

@Brettafett , possibly your best fitting A-2. And that's not to degrade the BKs and Dubows.

 

[Brettafett]

Thanks Greg, but for it to be that, I'd want another inch on the sleeves haha

It's a size 42 Saint-ex and thank you I'm enjoying the weather to wear it now!

First outing for the ELC B-15 today here...

 

[Brettafett]

ELC makes a damn fine B-15. I have been tempted for a very longtime...

 

[mulceber]

Same, in fact. I just can’t justify spending A-2 prices on a cloth jacket. Still thinking about a used one though. All this is a round-about way to say great jacket, Griffon!

 

[Saint-ex]

@Lord Flashheart I found it on goodwear's website yesterday when I read that you bought it in May from stock.

@Griffon_301 Nice B-15

 

[Nickb123]

Ordered yesterday. I thought model planes would drive off the jackets for a while. Guess not.

 

[Griffon_301]

Thank you guys for the compliments!
I was lucky that I got both, my ELC B-15 and my B-15A in used but as new condition about half price from what they cost new, the 15 via ELC classifieds and the 15A from Brice...
I can attest that these are great jackets and dare I say, well worth their money... (Need to check what they cost nowadays...)

 

[mulceber]

(Need to check what they cost nowadays...)

700 quid. 800 for the B-15A.

Excellent as always, Cabbie. Collar looks like it's starting to relax a bit too.

 

[Saint-ex]

Best way to relax is to wear it with, raised collar, under a heavy shower.

Nick, you ordered Cockpit's Top Gun Heros G-1??
What size?
I tried a 42 at the last airshow and man, what a great jacket. Not a specific original maker repro or anything... But uber cool. Its different than the 100 Missions jacket in a few ways. I found the regular 42 fit beautifully, sleeves were perfect, but did find the body a bit short (as per Cockpit style).
Not cheap!
Will be good to see your pics and review.

Can’t believe it’s nearly a year, 10 months. It feels like a sweatshirt it’s so comfortable. Really I don’t need any other jackets than this, but hey ho...

I really understand you. Perhaps I'll say a seditious thing for our mad place, but I realized a long time ago that only one good A2 is really needed for me, and not several A2 of different contracts/shades/colors, and so on. And when you wear this jacket as one only, it becomes as comfortable as pajamas, gets “that look” and has all the necessary folds and patina and so on, which is what many of us here strive for. For me, my ELC Star became such a jacket. If I need A2 I put it on and go and it just gets better and better day after day. And there is no agony of choosing which A2 from the closet to choose today. My Hump AVI is a lovely jacket, but I hardly wear it (although I can't part with it) and was interested for me as paint/patch project mostly. I don't mean other jackets (B15,G1, etc.)
