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

[Tylbor]

Mayonnaise, anyone?
Just kidding, here's a green dominant ERDL jacket worn with a pair of old French (probably Legion Etrangere) cotton high rise trousers.

Too warm to wear but lovely to look at… @Ken at Aero Leather Seal Brown Kelpie Tea Core Aero 16160. Tough, Lifetime Jacket.

35°C (95°F) in Toulouse today... tomorrow it's expected to be 37°C (99°F).
Until I came to this forum and owned jackets that I really love to wear, I didn't realize that summer could seem so long.

Pro-tip: If your distance from the (hopefully air-conditioned) office to the car isn't too far, a cold-soaked jacked is nice to wear.
Be prepared to get funny looks

I’ve found that as well. An A-2 that’s been in an air conditioned house will keep you cool for about 5 minutes outside. With AC in the car as well, that allows a little summer wear.

I think I might be going through withdrawal…

Haha! and why not store the jacket in the fridge ?
But you are right. I noticed this with my leather motorcycle jacket. I manage to keep the freshness of the office for 5 minutes ...

We should post a ‘This is what I would be wearing. But it’s too darn hot…’

How about "This is what I was wearing when I was much younger and long before I really got into this jacket thing"? So here's a younger me in Castle Combe in the early 90's with friend. Sportys Pilot Shop A-2 in goat:

Has anyone got a Black A2. I’m thinking about a Black A2, Olive Knits, Jungle USMC or Tiger Stripe Lining…

Were there any totally black A-2s during the war ?

Nope. Some of the Depot re-dyes were pretty dark, but no black A-2s.

Is it exhausted after a night of fun, frolics and partying or reluctant to get up at such an early hour?
