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

[mulceber]

Beautiful character on that one, Flash!

 

[Smithy]

That looks sweet Flash, nice touch with the Thunderer.

Thanks Guys. I really do love Eastmans Star. It needs so much more wearing than I've given it yet frankly but it's my "go to" A-2. I think I've mentioned before it has a slightly reddish colour which really works for me. The leather though needs more working out though. And yes Burt I couldn't resist an Acme whistle in brass.

 

[Smithy]

And yes Burt

That's Tim/Smithy old boy but I know it's late in the week ;-)

I'm also hoping to join the Star club shortly but from a different angle.

It's confusion in your shared, weird chapeau fetish. Just sayin'.

And you weren't around this joint when this joke was made so you probably don't get it. No drama though

Wow ! I thought that the jacket looked so good on you .... that I completely missed the whistle!

That’s kind of you say. And yes indeed, Mr Madgetts bicycle emporium gets my business.

No drama Flash, I know the feeling ;-)

Well on the bright side you didn’t miss the authors name ... mind you thinking about I’ll happily get my coat if it’s the Star

Yes good shop that. I thought I recognised the background

Mr M has a legendary parts bin and knows his onions. Which is more than can be said for some bike shops.

Well I knew I’d impulsively bought the 16610 and whadya know, box arrived today. Told myself if I didn’t love it it’d go back. However I think I love it.

Who's the manufacturer?

Nick
Very nice !
If it’s cool with you, can I suggest hiding the shirt tail in all your subsequent photos . It’s not that the style is a problem, but it’s the issue of the shirt tail making the jacket look like it fits you a bit short in the waist . Try tucking it or hiding it and I think it will give your photos a better perspective of the fit of the jacket . Just a thought .
BTW The jacket looks nice and fits like a WWII fit should .

Goodwear!

It looks fantastic, Nick. JC did a phenomenal job with it, so you happen to know what hide it’s made of?
