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

Wife sneakily took some pics of me unawares doing a bit of gardening in the BK Werber

Matt, you should let your wife sneak some more pics... Have not seen enough of that Werber. Have you had any news about your BK Dubow?

 

[Skip]

Would you believe I once thought about selling it

No, not a whisper Brett, just asked Andy for a heads up on Friday. Am thinking of changing the 1755 it to a 27798, if it hasn't been started already.

 

[Lebowski]

Matt, if you possibly think about that (once again , why not)) - I'd buy it from you!) Seriously.

Sweeeeet looking Werber !!!
What contract year is that ?

 

[Brettafett]

Yes, that vintage russet was special. And to think I almost ordered a Roughwear in it back in the day... Was that 2012/ 2013?

 

[jeremiah]

Yeah.
Love the color on that.

Thanks B-Man, its keeps getting better with wear. Its a 1402-P 1941 contract, the collar is trim and feels like a buttoned up shirt when fastened, unique to Werbers in general and hugs the neck more than say an Aero, which is one reason why I like them

Certainly was and is Brett, 2013 vintage is mine. they only had a limited stock but it never really took off from what I gather. Very thick hide. They were trying to get that worn look up front, I guess a precursor hide to the Victory that succeeded it. Besides Couchy and myself never saw anyone else with it, but maybe they didn't post. Similar in ways to the new hides DD is currently pushing out with the combat clone look, the antique has more rusty tones in it, which is what I prefer in leather rich red undertones.

Always on point ties ,always dress well

 

[ties70]

Thanks, Art!

I always try to get a combination that fits.
Leather plus denim / chinos is always OK.
Combine it with a shirt that is kind of workwear-ish like chambray.
Boots for footwear, seldom Clarks Desert Boots, never sneakers.

Some here take more liberty, especially when it comes to sneakers...sneakers are for sports IMHO, and they just don't match with my personal "dress regulations"

Once again proving “it’s the man that makes the cloths “, and not the “clothes that make the man”!

It’s not gardening if you aren’t kneeling down with your hands dirty...

Different shirt, different chino, fresh underwear...

Same bag and shoes, though. And the Aero again.

@ties70 Looking sharp! Is it a chambray shirt? Which brand is it?

 

[Garylafortuna]

Aw c'mon that's photoshop. The GW Aero is par excellence sir.

 

[ties70]

@ties70 Looking sharp! Is it a chambray shirt? Which brand is it?

@nkang Yes, it's chambray, a classic two pocket, flapless workshirt.
I have a couple of Carhartt's "Clink" shirts from a local outlet center, they are cheap, not too blousy and perfectly wearable after you have restitched almost every button .
Their QC seems to be quite sloppy...

Best regards,

Irvin Air Chute jacket from 1939 worn over original RAAF Service Dress at the Cosford Airshow where my group put on a Battle of Britain display.

Looks wonderful Andrew. The 39 Boots look to be in excellent nick too.

And nice to see that Aussie SD getting an airing as it's a stunner!
