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

[Griffon_301]

rather nice and warm today and it should stay this way for the foreseeable future, so the light weight USN jackets should see some wear from now on...

first up, my BR 37J1 for today's shift at the airport...

Are you referring to the jacket or the distinguished gentleman inside it?

Wore the ELC Monarch to help my Sergeant Major to collect some local furniture off Marketplace. We ran out of packing materials... The jacket was rolled up and wedged between two dressers. Scuffed up the back a bit...

Didn't even cry!

I´ve did it-- orderd my first GW Jacket JC had a test-jacket of an AN6552 in my size.....so i had no chance to pass. The Goatskin looks amazing....
Shipping with Fedex from US to Germany - the jacket arrived 5 Days after the first mail contact with JC. Can´t believe how fast.....

It’s honestly too hot for a jacket today ..but .. just to keep the thread moving,
It’s an Aero of Scotland Vincenza Horsehide repro of the original WWII Aero 15142P contract in a size 46. It’s a very comfortable 46, that can accommodate wearing a warm sweater underneath. ( the right cuff is there it just got sucked up into the sleeve )View attachment 79128View attachment 79127View attachment 79129

Love that colour...

Made-from-scratch DIY Hartmann Jacket. It's all wonky If you look at it close up, but for an experimental first time working with leather i am quite proud of the Outcome

Proud... and deservedly so.

Excellent!

Same here in NYC. Last night there was a cold damp wind blowing off the east river, so donned the B3 over a t-shirt and shorts. Neighbors just roll their eye at me.

It's just jealousy....

B-3 will get plenty of wear here this winter..

Had to source a chair to get it off the floor.

Always puzzled me how the X stitching on epaulettes varies from maker to maker on the same contract... Rolled under on some sleeve seams. Fully exposed on others..

I acknowledge that these are different contracts... and that every contract was different...
