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

[Edward]

@Edward , you're from Summerville SC? I went to Charleston a few years ago, and I have a friend from Summerville. Such a nice area, I loved it there!

Yes indeed! I have lived here in the area since 1981 just about 40 years now) my family moved us here when I was a wee lad of 14 years of age. Fun area but getting very crowded and congested. Growth the past few years is increasing ever since Boeing and Volvo arrived. Massive hotels and condos going up all over downtown charleston this past year. Skyline is changing and now a few high rises (no more than 20 stories though ) have been cleared for construction in West Ashley near citadel mall. This area has had many growth spurts but now it’s unprecedented. More traffic and hard to get parking at the beaches now. they started a free shuttle bus service inMt. Pleasant just to get people to and from the Isle of Palms. Me... I don’t go anywhere

It's warmer today again here in Vienna so I went for the latest "jacket" in my collection... BR first pattern tropical combat jacket...
A very nice reproduction from BR and a very useful and easy and nice to wear garment...
I wore it for two easy hikes in the mountains during our recent holidays and really came to like it...

I LOVE the smell of Buzz Rickson in the morning..

I'm currently wearing a Christie's A2
(They are in Sydney, Australia and specialise in medal mounting and "veteran wear" like cuffs and tie/lapel pins......they are also one of two official suppliers to the RAAF for their leather flight jackets,which are based off a WW2 A2 contract they somehow had in their possession)
It's pretty much the "short and tight" look EVERYONE likes and they literally make it in so many bloody sizes that it makes my head spin
I don't know if they ship overseas though

The Indian summer beginning here. Perhaps the last days when A2 can be worn. Photo hunting for red maples with ELC Star.

It’s getting cooler down this neck of the woods-weather folk starting to use the word ‘autumnal’ a lot, and actually been wearing the A-2 the last couple of days (which you guys have seen enough times). Soon be time to try out the black Buzz B-10.

Looking forward to seeing that!

Typical northern Norway here, we get a lot of Arctic storms over this period so the weather is terribly unsettled. We had full gale force winds over the last two days and there will be the same tomorrow. My go to is a Speedwear waxed cotton jacket, fantastic piece of kit and I've found streets ahead of the current Belstaff/Barbour offerings, well worth checking out if you're after such jackets/coats. In fact they're better than all the Belstaffs and Barbours I've had in this style...

Won't be long though and I'll be using the ATF Sumpftarn parka and Irvin when the first snows come.

Deep in contemplation at the wfh desk.... London is chilly, perfect A-2 weather. BK Dubow.

nice 5 Star, like the detachable collar option. The close up pic, nice goat hide that should break in well.

Nice jackets guys both of them .
Cabbie : That removable collar option is pretty cool . Makes it look like an An- J-3 jacket .
Brett : Really like the deep color of that BK A2.
Looks like great A2 weather!
