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

[Greg Gale]

The missus is staying with her parents tonight so I’m wearing my Dubow for the best break-in technique there is: I’m going to sleep in it

I was wrong. THIS is the best was to break in a jacket first flight of my Dubow.

The most accurate way to break it in for sure!

Those pictures are cool!
Everything works . The jacket , the gloves , the instrument panel , you in the harness. It all just flows ... nice !

Why do you need two altimeters?

Ho Hum..... Is that all you got ?

Forgive me ... I’m just running out of Wows , beauty’s and WTFs

 

[ausreenactor]

As an E-9 I have an endless supply of WTFs. Mostly required for E-2s, O-2s and O-4s.

The Wows... they are mostly reserved for Jorge's stuff these days, the one in a million rare A-2 or a truly puzzling comment I can't believe made it through the brain, via the hands and the fingers to the keyboard.

Another ripper Jorge...

Today for me might be a BR M-51 Parka and liner. Pouring down.. ATF Tanker at the minimum...

One is in meters, the other one in feet, and none of them works properly

Top Gun G-1. One of the best put together G-1s I've ever had.

Thank you! Have to head to a two day 'Warfighter' symposium in a few weeks. Will end up in a waste basket.

What maker jacket did you use for that project ?

 

[Brettafett]

I do believe that's a Cockpit Top Gun Heroes G-1...
Similar to their 100 Missions, but some very slight differences, essentially same....
Absolutely fantastic jackets, well made, classy...

Did you have one, Brett? I wonder how their sizes correlate with contract sizes.

First day of the season that was too cold for an A-2 (okay, if this was February, I'd probably say it's great A-2 weather, but it's October), so I'm wearing a BD B-10 for the first time, other than trying it on when it arrived.

 

[Brettafett]

Yes, had a couple actually. Ive had the 100 Missions, loved it *but the body tends to be a bit short), and also the leather collared Forrestal version. Size 40 both.
I have tried on the Top Gun Heroes, size 42 fit beautifully, its a real classy jacket... But I don't really want all the patches.
Ive been in contact with Jacky about getting an un-patched version, possible, but pricey.... A bit too pricey.
Really great jackets.
