You're right Butte, look around them, they look like they're sitting in an abandoned movie setHey guys, come on, can you wait until it drops below 100ºf here and no smoke from all the fires? This isn't fair

Same here Butte, it's averaged about 88F the past month; but there I was this morning, browsing for B-6s....

We've got a full storm here today, and as usual inside the Arctic Circle for autumn it'll last for a couple of days at least. Full gale force winds and more, I wore an A-2 to take the kids to school but afterwards realised that was bloody hopeless, reverted to the waxed cotton Barbour ripoff (which is better than the actual Barbours I've had).
If I wasn't in such a rush I would have dragged out the Aero Barnstormer which laughs at this kind of weather!

Last time we were in UK two years back, we went to a Barbour store and as much as I wanted to buy one - esp being there - it didn't look as great as I had imagined it from pics. Bummed me out, but saved me a pretty penny. Or whatever you guys call money there

Scott, get one of these, I've had Barbours and these are even better for a far better price...

Dmitry, how did you get this jacket? Was it simply a case of trawling through EBay and what condition was it in, did you have to change cuffs etc..?

Hi, this MA-1 was discussed a little earlier here and you will find answers to your questions here (starting from post # 13)
Would you refurbish an original?
Many of the originals I’ve seen — in Gary’s book, for example, or this one for sale on the Bay — look to be degraded past the point of daily wearability. Some have broken zippers, holes in the lining, shredded knits or even patches of leather missing. Would you refurbish an original? Replace...

If you need detailed photos of the jacket, let me know I can post it

This is something worthy of more than a year's efforts! Dude!! Back to topIc, nope, wouldn't refurbush this! :cool: Is his first jacket an L-2B or L-2? L2B I think. If necessary, I can provide better photos of this MA-1 jacket. But again, I didn't find anything on the net. If you find a photo...

More or less!
What with COVID, we’re limited to the places that are being very responsible and that we really like, which narrows down our options considerably.

A splendid sneak preview of an early fall this week! This morning a lovely 68º with 12mph NNE winds... a low of 53º tonight!!!! Will be low 70s with overnights at mid 50s until thrusday so taking advantage by donning my Bronson Chinos, Dragonboot rough outs and a GW J.A. Dubow... its cloudy, breezy ... perfect for a short walk over to Home Depot to get a couple of things whilst lookin' all 40s and shit....

down to 145 lbs. not sure exactly how.. tape worms maybeJacket looks like it was made for you.
Perfect fit ... and lookin trim.
I don't eat a lot.. I eat but small portions and mostly chicken, bananas, apples grapes and some cheese. I don't get fancy with my meals any longer. no point. just fill the hole and get back to work... so that's keeping me trim. the jacket feels so great and I just don't want to take it off!!!!
