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

This morning a thought came to me: we haven't had a proper bathroom shot in a while (sorry, no elevators here):

So I have been breaking In the NorShor Aero / Acme 1415 that arrived a couple of weeks ago. The more I wear it the more I like it and growing to appreciate the lighter weight moo hide it's made from. Please excuse the unshaven appearance.

Thinks:
I don't really need two 1414's so am probably going to be offering my very, very well broken in 44" Goodwear in FQ GG hide. Watch the for sale section...
And that my friends is what is called a shameless plug

A walk in the rain with a couple of the dogs wearing the GW Perry 1617 P that arrived here yesterday afternoon from Blackrat2 Esq.

Not sure about this smiling malarky, it gives me face ache

Fine looking jacket there Micawber. You can ease off the smile if you like but if “smug” is a better look go for it.

Neither leather, nor even flight jacket but—try to understand me—it was so warm in Warsaw I opted for cotton. Third pattern utility shirt with a beautiful USMC stamp.

 

[Saint-ex]

A bit warm for leather in Paris too.
Today I wore this souvenir jacket that I bought after my honeymoon in Hawaii.

Ya might consider knocking off 1”+ off of the sleeves micaber.

Aye, I'll probably do that to both new ones once they've broken in a bit more.

so what do you do on the weekends for fun Edward?
I sit in my apartment and play dress up.

Well, Summer sucks ass... unless you live on a lake or own a pool...
Too hot and humid but I put my A-2 on this afternoon because... well, I miss it
Anxiously awaiting November....
Eastman Leather Star Sportswear A-2 (size 42)
So I did this because I just got this awesome Olive drab short sleeve cotton canvas field shirt from C.C. Filson.
Not unlike the L.L. Bean cotton canvas shirts but L.L.Bean didn't have a vintage WWII Army Olive Drab color... they have some nice greens but not like this one!
Filson is a quite a bit more pricey than LL though. Just the same I was on the lookout for a real Olive drab shirt to my liking and this one is perfect!
Its True to fit whereas LL Bean shirts always run very large (just FYI to keep in mind.)
Paired with a modern chocolate brown polyester neck tie and Bronson 1942 Army khaki chinos, vintage NOS 1942 army canvas web belt from JQMD (Jeffersonville Quartermaster Intermediate Depot ) and a 1948 Royal Stetson Whippet fedora. DAPPER!

Now I can post this on Match . com and the ladies will swoon and start throwing themselves at me! or at least throw their bras and panties at me... am I right or am I right?

starting to look like my late grandfather.... not a bad thing. WWII navy vet (Battle of Leyte!!!)

changing my name. henceforth I shall be known as Seamus Emmett Reed.

Outstanding Ed!..........You'd better find a place to hide....I think I hear the thunder of a female stampede coming your way now!!
