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

[Micawber]

SOF British Jerkin time. Made by Kay Canvas from Buffalo hide these, just like the originals, are just such a practical and tough garment for working in. No pockets means you don't get weighed down by "stuff" or hindered by bulges catching tools. Love 'em.

Doing a spot of gardening again this morning. Target for today is one of the side patches near the house and enlarging a flowerbed in the middle of a much bigger
patch around the other side to make room for plants that we bought at the local auction over the past couple of weeks. We have a new greenhouse coming sometime next month so I want to get things organised beforehand.

Finally cool enough to wear the A-2 for a trip to Innsbruck

We’re south of that, just a few miles north of Kennebunkport, visiting family. The photos are at Goose Rocks Beach. The weather’s been on the edge of jacket comfort, but after a couple months of temperatures in the 80s F/ high 20s C, I’ll take what I can get.

My brother in law's family goes to Goose Rocks, but I have never been there. They love it there.

This morning was a bit chilly so I wore the GW that I had up for sale until recently. Since it was quite misty early on I didn't get a chance to get any photos I just slipped it on again for a photo or two just now..

Looks like an original Steve.
It’s a true testament to the old adage ,
“wear the piss out of it .”

 

[MaydayWei]

Problem is, how can you wear the piss out of one when you have so many to choose from?
Too many hats and only one head!

Correct!!
And that’s the dilemma in collecting these things . Or to make another analogy … it’s like a Sultan have too many wives . He wants them all, but he can only service each one on an occasional basis . Uhhh …hmmm … I think I like the second problem better

Yesterday’s Goodwood Revival getup. Not a flight jacket, but it is an original 1954 Holloman AFB Letterman jacket.

I’m guessing it’s the 6580th Air Base Group.

The jacket is made by Empire Sporting Goods of New York and includes all of the original labels and tags, which are period correct, so it’s definitely vintage rather than a modern remake.

Hello everyone, it's been a while.
Had some life to deal with this year so I just haven't been visiting any of the forums.
Just thought I would get in a bit Irvin practice last night ready for winter, as you do.

[blackrat2]
