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

View attachment 3724 After yesterday’s outing in the A-2 it’s flippin’ freezing today and time for the D-1 and Buzz Rickson CPO shirt, and I’m still more than happy to find a pub with a real fire!

Buddy is your D1 also from ELC? Which size is it? Sharp looking outfit btw

 

[D97x7]

I've had it a few years and I think they now trade as British Sheepskin Company. Got it from Transair I recall but I've not seen them around much. Warm enough for the weather though which counts right now

Thanks, didn't know they existed even though I live in Somerset and take my dogs to Polden Vets, lol.

Thanks Thomas. Yes the D-1 is an ELC and it’s a size Medium. I got it from the Duxford airshow one July some years ago; I’m tempted to say 2007 but I can’t believe it was that long ago! I’m going to have to check. It’s a broken grain sheepskin with Crown zips. Whilst I’m very happy with it and would recommend wholeheartedly, I wish ELC did an original maker D-1.

Whatever this weekend has been the weather for sheepskin. I wish I still had my B-3! still with. CPO shirt it can be quite toasty!

Cheers

Chris

Wow, that’s a helluva bike chain you’ve got there Grant!

Lovely A-2! Got the real James Stewart look about it.

That’s just his his wallet chain !
The real bike chain is on the bike.

Haha. Friends were tired of me bitching about my third bike stolen so gave the chain and lock as a joke/gift. It's been eight years now and the chain/bike are still going strong so guess it's worth schlepping around. Besides it works nicely as a deterrent when getting into arguments with cab/bus drivers and breaks in A-2's nicely.

That's not a million miles from us either Gav (Hinton Blewett).

If it's of interest I believe Polden became https://www.british-sheepskin.co.uk

Been keeping me snug given the eastern chilly blast round here

Thanks, I was mainly intrigued by the fact this chap had purchased a jacket made locally, thinking there may be an unknown to me maker, I haven't seen his jacket.

Still rocking the Levis LVC 1930s Menlo - love this jacket....

Just about getting away with the B-3 still

 

[Skyhawk]

Looks great! Your buddy seems to like the aroma of the B-3 as well.

More importantly why is the watch worn upside down ?
( the crown is nearest to the fingers worn on the right hand side )
