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

[ausreenactor]

No jacket today. 110 degrees in the old speak. 113 degrees tomorrow. Lucky I have three B-3s and a B-2 to see me through?

Oh wow sounds like Siberian days are coming to you ...

27752. I think I’ve come up the elusive adjective to describe russet: woody.

Not right now, but earlier today I went to one of my daughter's homes for Thanksgiving Dinner and was able to wear my Goodwear Leather Perry Sportswear A2.

No Irvin? Why?

 

[London Cabbie]

Is that a G1 Sullys wearing...?

 

[MikeyB-17]

Nope. S’got epaulettes for a start.

 

[ausreenactor]

No Irvin? Why?

I had a great ELC Irvin with original zips. The B-3 has a pocket for my 'whizz wheel'. The Irvin doesn't!

Had to google again, but did not get any wiser I always loved B-3, but have to admit the Irvin is growing on me. Bought an original from Pilot which looks great and which I wear occasionally.

Recently received my new ELC B-15, this is a 42.
Fits great! I love my ELC B-10 to bits and still think the B-10 is iconic! I am not a big fan of the B-15's 'big' collar in comparison to the B-10...
I must say though, the B-15 is more practical with these amazing hand warmer pockets, and there are two huge pockets on the inside, almost the entire chest.
It feels a bit more robust, comp the B-10 also.. different shell material.
This jacket has already been out for a misty walk and its chilly out there. I didn't care... My B-15 is warm!

with reference to the Irvin love going on, here's a photo I just came across of me in one of my originals (I had 2, just one now) with my jeep on the 40th Normandy Dday tour in 1984. lousy night photo, that's how they were back then. Have USAAF flying trousers on as well as it was always wet and cold in Normandy in early June, just like the real thing.

Fantastic, Brett! Didn’t know you were even considering ordering one, but it looks like it was a great decision!

Got my 1942 scarf, loving it. It goes very well with an A-2. Quite short but that’s no problem.

Great looking jacket, and now I have to find a scarf like that'll.
Plus thank you for the Spotify link, really cool music.

Dude, that’s your best one yet.

I blame it on Bronson lol
I really liked that B-15, but it caused tribulations at home. I was loathe to 'mess' with it in case I was stuck with it.
So I ordered one from ELC. To see. "I can always return, it I thought", yeah right.

 

[Flightengineer]

Nice B15, Brett, looks cool and fits good and surely smells like a flight jacket and not like a Chinese chemical plant

 

[Brettafett]

Thanks Dmitry,
No smells at all Im happy to report.
