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

[Tylbor]

It was cold today in Warsaw. And we have some snow too, which means it's a perfect weather for a 1962 N-3B parka. And a pair of M1965 mittens. I love the USAF stencil on the left shoulder.

Tylbor
That looks like perfect weather for that N-3B coat.
Do you have the wool liners inside of your mittens ?

Newly arrived Toys McCoy B3 courtesy of Mr Lever of this Parish on an exciting trip out in the snow. I say exciting, I mean "to the post box" but one gets ones kicks where one can these days ... mind you the Toys is just that and really comfortable. Posting cards to keep family spirits up?
Maybe less so but good to get out nonetheless.

Paying for itself already!

Not a flight jacket, but a bag

When outside and inside the same digits but different signs.




Frost, snow, and sun.

Watching, Hitlers last stand whilst wearing an ELC 1401p. Will switch to my Irvin B Foster G-1 later when I go out for a walk. I haven’t worn the G-1 for quite some time but Mulcebers pristine example has inspired me.

 

[London Cabbie]

Still chilly

for me at 7c...

Bronson 2020 Ma1. Jeep Wool Scarf. Redwing 3344 Hawthorn Roughout’s, cost a bit but really, really love them. They are so comfortable you can wear them easily without socks. Also the main London Redwing cobbler is round the corner.

Out for a walk in the G-1

Yeah ..... but what kind of sun glasses are you wearing

 

[Micawber]

Yeah ..... but what kind of sun glasses are you wearing

Well, since you ask they are Savile Row [Algha] round rolled gold frames fitted with my prescription bifocal lenses that have a sunlight reactive coating.

https://savileroweyewear.com/frames

Algha have been around for many, many years, I have several pairs as I find they last longer than other frames and the exceptionally long design life means spares are available and repairs easy.

A little more insight here ....as I say you did ask

I did didn’t I
And an “insightful” response
( See what I did there? Glasses ... sight ... insightful ..... oh never mind )

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Yes, yes, yes Burt. Well done.

But you didn’t ask about the yellow thing in Micawbers right hand did you?

Sunglasses? I think the story doesn’t end there Sherlock does it?

As long as my response regarding my choice of eye wear proved to be of interest then I can have a doze safe in the knowledge that my work here is done

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Not so fast there Micawber.

Sher-Burt Holmes here hasn’t quite sorted out all the details ...

Saville Row manufacturing they are using pre war machines to make their frames ,and if you notice the workers are also close to retiring same story in every industry no investment in skill and knowledge for the future .When's the last time you heard someones son is an apprentice . I was one in England for 4 years as a Millwright at Hawker Siddeley Aviation . Same story here in America in industry if you get hired and pass the probation period you are one .Even though you no nothing about the job ,my brother is a design engineer at Boeing and they hire people of the street and train them for 6 weeks and let them loose on making planes F18s he say its a disaster .The FAA has shut them down 3 times for FOD ,I would not want to be a pilot with the crap they are putting together now .The more the years pass the more the skilled men are retiring and it gets worse because the knowlede and the skill is walking out the door . Your glasses look great Steve and are well made with a view to lasting ,you know old school thinking with men having been trained by masters .

Now that’s some impressive research!
I have to say that if I were wearing all of that quality merchandise here in the US, I’d be more afraid of getting mugged for my boots and sun glasses than I would for my Rolex
