Bit nippy here but "Dress Down Tuesday" nevertheless at Smithy Manor...

Looks good on you Stu.
I bet you get some nice comments on it while driving the cab everyday .

Thanks Burt.
I was a bit apprehensive at first to wear it out, but once I got over that I’ve only had really nice comments. Including from my Cab friends who don’t hold back on their opinions…

Well I don’t regret buying the B6 at all from Mccoys. I’m beginning to break into it and it feels wonderfully warm in -5 deg. I don’t care what anyone thinks looking at me when out n about (I’ve been getting those looks). Sleeves are rolled up an inch- I can do this with the B6 styling and what’s so good about it compared to the other brands is that the cut is more upto date slimmer straight cut down which suits me fine as it sits perfectly.

That’s a great combo for cold, wet weather, and it’s easier to travel long distances with that combo . More so than a B-3 or Irvin which is just to bulky to carry around airports or stuff into overheads. I’ve found that it works well for traveling from a warm climate to a cold one. Both are fairly easy to pack and you can wear them separately or in combination during cold weather .

It’s been too warm for a jacket today, so I thought I’d share some photos of a new find I just picked up over the holidays. It’s an original USN Brill Bros 7823E contract G-1 in a hard to find size 48 in excellent condition. I believe this jacket dates back to the 1971 or 1972 time frame, making it a Vietnam War period issued jacket. All comments are welcomed .

I work up the road off Charlotte Street and used to walk through here every day pre-covid with my head down. Now the few times I go into the office and walk through central, it feels like I'm seeing it all anew.

TBH Burt I’ve never worn them together but you’re so right. And layering one jacket under another seems very much approved of round here
