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

[ties70]

A beautiful family you have, ties. The best of health to you all.
When will the little one get her first flight jacket?

Thanks a lot, man!

There is no big love for leather, so far, but she is on her third nylon bomber jacket...with love & peace and heart patches...crazy, long-haired hippie girl

today N1 made by 5Star with C3 vest and chambray underneath - pants are Pike Brothers - boots are CHIPPEWA

no snow around here - temps are still above freezing point (what was that in "Farenheit" again?)

Thomas, you look cool. Great jacket and everything else. Why is there sadness in your eyes? Or are you worn out by transatlantic flights?

Looks like the weather got cooler again in SoCal!

Meaning I can finally smile again!

 

[mulceber]

I'm just really surprised and impressed that you can even wear a B-3 in SoCal.

 

[B-Man2]

Yep …. Nicks a trooper …. He’d be welcome here in Florida wearing his B-3 .
At least my neighbors wouldn’t think I’m the only one who’s a little strange wearing a B-3 in 75F degree weather

"Awesome," Burt - the word you're looking for is "awesome."

On my way to work on a cold November day wearing the B-6:

 

[CBI]

OK, so I am not actually wearing it but a VERY impressive Bronson N-1 just arrived. Here's a quick pic next to my original. No, I can't take a picture of the lining (I know people will ask). Too busy with work but just wanted to say for the price, this is a GREAT repro. I predict this will be a jacket I actually wear. Weight very similar to my original, all of the details are there just less high end materials but still very fine. Purchased from Bronson direct, shipped for $150.00 (on sale)

No I think the word you are looking for is "nuts" or "bonkers"

I have no idea how those chaps in tropical climes (CA and FL) can even attempt to wear, let alone think about wearing heavy sheepskin flying jackets!

I wore my Irvin perhaps twice during daytime in the 7 years we were in Melbourne, I wore it sometimes out in the garden in the evening over winter having a ciggie or a stogie when I still smoked but heaven forbid wearing the bally thing during daylight!

I was tempted to buy either a B3 or an Irvin from Five Star, but it hardly ever gets cold enough in Wellington to justify a purchase. I mean, it gets cold sure, but it rains sideways a lot.

Good Lord man, are you a Kiwi??!!

So am I, although I've been living variously in Australia, South America and now Norway for quite awhile. Great to have another Antipodean from the right side of the ditch. Bugger about the bloody cricket

Ahaha! I thought you already knew that.

Oh, and bugger about the bloody rugby as well.

Shit don't bloody remind me!

 

[ausreenactor]

I love that Crown on your jacket, Jan! @mulceber
I'm not into sheepskin, but that's a mighty fine fit too!
It's not weird to compliment a man on his zipper is it?

Anywhere else... possibly. Here? 100% within expectations...

Have we mentioned the T20 World Cup?

Agree on this, the bronson N1's are super nice jackets. I have two early blue ones and one in khaki from them. I enjoy wearing them all winter long. But after purchasing a N1 from Gizemo I have to say that this one is a better bang for the buck, for around 250.- you become a N1 that's a little heavier with real alpaca lining and overall better materials and craftsmanship, definitely comparable to buzz for half of the price.
