Sunny, but chilly trip to the pub garden today, so BR B-15C and it did the job perfectly!

Thank you Burt! And in total contrast to what it seems is established forum opinion, I love shoulder decals, so have a pic with the decal in!

Totally agree with you Chris . The Roundel gives the jacket a bit more in the way of authenticity. But... I get that they’re not for everyone .

On this jacket (I love mine as well) I especially appreciate the winged roundels on the shoulder. Unfortunately in the States, this pattern of jacket was worn for a decades by various private security and police departments. I love that the O2 tab on the front and the AAF decal,on the shoulder clearly differentiates this jacket from its clones. Looks great on you.

Great B-15 Chris!

The early USAF nylon flight jackets with ‘Hap Arnold’ logo look awesome. There’s a lot of contract variations though, so for example the only B-15Cs that seem to have had it are Albert Turners, the more common Pritzker jackets didn’t.

Totally get your meaning warguy and sadly same here in the UK.

But I love these jackets and the decal for their original meaning which most don't understand, but I do and I don't care after that. Keep enjoying yours!

Goodwear 1401-P for a vintage bike ride.

Hi, a gentle ride on a 1938 bike at slow pace to enjoy life and my collection of jackets. It's also a bit therapeutic, you can't rush or sprint, just relax. And there nothing else to do here, cafés & bars are still closed

Anyways...

Nooo, the moment has passed. Perhaps I need to add a wee winky face to the post.

Nice jacket Stanier
I don’t mind a decal on nylon, or for that matter on an original, just brand new on a repro A2 I think they look to bright, if that makes sense

This aniline steerhide on John’s 16160 beats horsehide in my humble opinion. Soft drape, nice and oily.
