Where's the 109 or the Jug behind you?
Very autumnish over there, pretty atmospheric.
Great pics Kermit

Thank you Enigma ;)

It was cold and wet. We reached the limits of the A-2 and the Hartmann. I wear a big wool sweater under the jackets, and finally it helps to have a better fit... :rolleyes::D
Now it's your turn to take pictures with your Hartmann !

My grandfathers m-1943 to work in the yard which is what he wore it for. He was drafted for 1 year of service in January of 1941. He was one month from going home when Pearl Harbor was attacked. He spent the next 4 years of his life in the European Theater.
Then he went home and used it for a painting jacket as so many vets did. If he only knew how we value these today.

Great looking jacket steeve look big on you ! Guess that it is roomy!

Thing is if I size down I won't be able to cross my arms like I can in the repro Irvins or B3 I have, this concerns me a bit. I've had quite a number of original shearlings in the past too. I don't mind looking like a Michelin Man but I gotta be able to reach across when wearing this stuff lol! Ho hum...

Pretty good, actually: the snow flurries are light enough that when the snow melts, the droplets just cling to the surface of the fleece. The jacket itself is pretty dry.

I'm a little bit afraid to take out originals like a G-1 for instance in the pouring rain. Repros I guess is ok. I think repros should be subjected to all conditions. But originals maybe I feel they should be respected more?
