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

Doniger. I know the contract seems to be a crowd favorite judging by past threads. I think Andrew S. mentioned it being up there on his. I’ll say, it’s not as comfortable as the Monarch. Nonetheless quite an elegant thing.

That satchel looks great, what is it?

It’s a kit I built from Tandy leather my first attempt at it all I had to do
Was to dye it, stitch it together, I added the post and strap closure
And left the interior natural

London Cabbie great jacket ,I think you could of gone down a size it looks big across the shoulders and the body .Unless you want so you can layer underneath may be or you need it that way for unrestricted movement while driving . Just my personal opinion most would disagree ,I like to see the shoulder seam on top of the arm not drooping .

Thankyou.
If I went a size down it would have been only wearable with a t shirt or shirt and I couldn’t have worn it when it got colder...

Gorgeous, @s4rmark. The Perry contract is one of my favorite jackets that Eastman makes, and it looks like you got a stunner.

100% agree!!!

 

[s4rmark]

Thanks guys for the compliments, it is a lovely jacket but a heavy old beast. But I wouldn’t part with it unless I get to big for it !

The jacket and everything is fantastic Mark, two thumbs up.

But with those B-2 caps all I can see is Elmer Fudd or even worse. I know that I probably shouldn't type that and I know that goes against the whole if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything, but if I could exterminate one thing in this world it would be the B-2 cap as an abomination in the face of God ;-)

 

[s4rmark]

Ha Ha , your right the B-2 caps not the most fashionable item but it is bloody warm and keeps the snow off.

I am with you on that one !, I took mine to Lapland last year. I might have looked odd but my head was warm, and these days people walk around with all sorts of weird things on their heads !.

Not as bloody weird looking as the B-2! I live in Arctic Norway where it gets damn cold and we might wear some less than flattering headgear when it gets really cold but the B-2 is an utter abortion, it hit every branch as it fell off the ugly tree.

FFS wear a decent and proper woollen beanie, you won't look like a knob like a B-2 does and it'll keep you just as warm if not warmer.

 

[s4rmark]

Nope , my minds made up the B-2 stays

Let me just check ?, yes you did say that if you havent got anything nice to say then dont say it !.
Each to their own, I havent taken to posting pictures of myself wearing any of my jackets, but this could be the making of a very entertaining thread.
Posting pictures of ourselves wearing hats ? Whatever they might make us look like !.
Any takers ? . Heaven knows we could all do with some merryment .
