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

[Brettafett]

One of Platon's J A Dubow's that I sold my son a while back because at the time it was getting a bit snug for me.......

This jacket looks incredible! Hells Bells almighty.... It looks like an original!!!

 

[Tylbor]

Wojciech, what are these boots?

Hi!
Nothing can hide from you. Wolverine 1000 miles. One of my favorite vintage-looking boots.
Best

 

[Grant]

Whoa, I agree, that's gotta be the finest Platon Dubow yet! Rocking the old Eastman B-10 today.

 

[Brettafett]

Consider that ELC B-10 rocked Grant, fantastic! Did you have the collar swopped out?

 

[Grant]

Hey Brett, yeah, I'm a freak about using vintage zips and mouton wherever I can. Steve Sellers did an amazing job using old mouton and I swapped out the repro puller for an original Talon. Yeah, freak indeed.

 

[Brettafett]

Infinitely better.
Ive been wanting to do the same. Steve sent me some vintage mouton with that old M-442a I got a while back.
I may get that swopped out this summer.

no leather today but an old CARHARRT workjacket i pulled out underneath a friends traktor in his barn - gave her a wash and like her

gloves are cheapo "home depot" working stuff, pants are PIKE BROTHERS along with REDWING boots

 

[Grant]

That Carhartt jacket is awesome.

I confess to working a little magic on it to match the weathered Catch 22 patch that came from Vic, Silver Surfer.

Wished I'd jumped on some of those W&G leathers back in the day.

Dig the newspaper wall covering...

Look like a Bastogne defender!

Hahaha
I needed to think for a while to make sure who was a defender of Bastogne.

The wall is covered with the xerocopies of a 19th century newspaper. Half of it were ads.

 

[Tylbor]

Another day — another jacket. It arrived yesterday!
A beautiful CWU-45/p in excellent condition. It has a bi-swing back. No velcro for the inner pocket. The nomenclature tag is washed out but I suppose it's either 1979 or 1980. The seller said he was issued this jacket in 1980 from HMX-1 stock. It's definitely the most comfortable flight jacket I've ever had. And it has the original name tag!
Does anyone of you gentlemen has a list of CWU-45/p contracts?

Outstanding.

Nothing has changed in all these years then!

ELC B-15 on a cold afternoon. There are some military exercises in the area and I was watching an Osprey passing not far away.
