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

[Griffon_301]

Navy attire for a short return of winter in these latitudes...

BR deck trousers, ELC USN sweater, new t-shirt from "the_Navyism" and ELC M-422a...

Salty looking USN A-2 jacket time keep the chill out
Living on a boat I can see the benefits of having the knit wear hidden under the sleeves
This is from 1966

I have popped some pics in the “Review” section, someone has kindly started a deck jacket thread

Thanks for the compliments
the Trousers are, according to Buzz Rickson grosgrain fabric made of cotton (jungle cloth) and are the same as their N1 deck jacket (and the deck hook jacket if one asks me)
also, they do not have a lining, so you can wear them in warmer weather as well; but thanks to the dense fabric, they also make good pants to wear in cold weather, as today;
I also like the USN stencil on one of the rear pockets;

Fardin got some pairs around Christmas rather unexpectedly and when I tried a pair, I just had to have it (they are rather expensive, so I did not get one each of the color options then, only the blue one);
I dont know if the pants are available easily nowadays as decent BR stuff in bigger sizes is usually gone quickly and most of the "special" BR releases are only done for one season, but if I will spot a Khaki pair in my size somewhere, I might be tempted - those are really damn nice pants .....

Mid 70s MA-1 and my favorite 1949 pattern British battledress trousers.
I know it's not a Vintage Leather Shoes forum but please take a look at this nice pair of 60s/70s Lee Kee bespoke moccasins . The guy was a famous shoe maker from Hong Kong.

 

[B-Man2]

That’s a great look Tylbor !

 

[Flightengineer]

Wojciech, I like it. It turns out that the white shirt looks very stylish with the MA-1

Pre-production WPG A-2 from 2014 today to go to and from work. We were talking about drape in another thread yesterday and the drape on this is terrific IMHO.

 

[Kermit3D]

This A-2 looks really nice !
By any chance, do you have a fit pic to see the drape ?

 

[flyincowboy]

By the way nice carpet!

No problem, I'll take one later - just about to hit the sack as I've come off night shift.

By the way nice carpet!

Try as I might but sadly it's non-flying

Might be an option for a jacket lining!

One of the kids peed on it once so maybe not!

I wonder why WPG stopped making them like this . I’m guessing it was to reduce their production costs .

Polish art collector, if I remember correctly this board on a building in the center of old Warsaw ... I was there for a very long time ago.

Wearing an old favorite today . Just cool enough for a Good Wear Acme 22996. A great jacket with an original Crown zip .
