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

[ausreenactor]

Had a dream last night I was getting the second Covid jab, and the nurse broke about 1” off the tip of the needle and I watched it slide down into my vein!

Aah.

Metaphor to buy another jacket!

Just ordered an ELC Werber from HPA. I tried not to look as I entered card information and cringed at checkout.

Great to hear!

Had an enjoyable day today on Jekyll Island Georgia. Wore my original 79 years old WWII Bronco A2. I thought it was time to air it out and let some wrinkles fall out in the process . View attachment 55567View attachment 55568View attachment 55571View attachment 55572

Amazing how little wear there is on the AF decal.

Late winter cold air makes a B-10 the right kit... Plus all the nice ELC/Buzz being shown here lately...

So it's The FEW Paul Reed B-10 impressive recreation with a Talon M42 gilt and real alpaca, layered with Real Mccoy USAAF type A-1 wool sweater, what can go wrong!

The rest of VLJ gets absolutely jealous over a rare Japanese reproduction jacket!

That one took a long time to come along, and when it popped on Rakuten at a very fair price, the decision was easy. Thank you for appreciating this piece with such a positive comment!

That grain and colour in the sun! stunning! And the fact that the AAF decal survived till today is sheer madness

You're the full mccoy! I always loved the way AAF OD shells faded over time; such a lovely shade of green. You wear it well!

Whew, a stiff drink should help not think about it. Looking forwards to seeing it Russet?

Thanks. It’s an interesting lighter colored russet. Eastman has this “vintage” warhorse they’re using. Have always wanted one. And also have really enjoyed the ELC A-1 and this should be a nice companion given it’s stated to be a thin hh.

If Brett's 'warhorse' russet is anything to go on; you'd kick yourself if you didn't get it!
You'll look back and say "damn, that was the right choice." Rest assured.
If we can't get assurance from each other, where else would we get it? from the significant other?

Well, some of us do.

...but your point is well made.

Where did you find your Jacksonville Sweatshirt ? I love that!

 

[s4rmark]

though I’d join in on the recent love for the ELC Monarch with my 2011 model.

 

[Greg Gale]

@s4rmark that Monarch could pass for a well preserved original!

I loved it too the moment I saw it and simply had to order it; I have bought it via Fardin from Whitefeather, its a Buzz Rickson sweater, and it goes by the number BR68440;
if you are interested, I think Fardin has one in his store still, I just dont know which size, but of course, I can ask - for comparison mine is XL;

Interesting how dark it looks on the photo, more like dark seal. In reality it's much lighter.
