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

[D97x7]

Thanks, I'd say the Irvin was favourite, I like the British connection and I find it easier to wear, the lack of panels on the arms is the key, that said the S.F.A.D is also very comfortable, feels like a big cardigan.

It really is shocking just how well vintage goatskin ages.

Still breaking it in....

Probably a little redder than most originals. But it’s cool. Great old brass Talon.

To be a smart arse. Today Im wearing human skin.
Its so damn hot and muggy out there, if I even look at a flight jacket, I begin to sweat.

You should be wearing that Monarch Brett.

Nick, all the perspiring this last week, I recon that Monarchs going to be even bigger on me now, or should I say Im going to smaller for it... lol

You’ll regret letting it go. You have a WWII fighter pilot physique but that doesn’t mean a little room looks bad on you. I know fit is personal, but I know I’m not the only one whose scratched their head and asked why you’ve sold on some of your previous A-2s. Most, including your ELC Monarch, look absolutely fabulous.

If you were assigned a squadron via VLJ Command you’d be in a P-51 or 47, definitely.

Thanks Nick, its as gorgeous in person as in the photos, but... It doesn't fit right. Dont and wont wear it.
The Dubows and RW, and even AVIs A-2 and M-422A get all the loving... My Yeager Monarch will move to a more appreciating home, and the funds will offset the GW.
Thats how is has to be.

gw sat [security aviation togs]. this is the one that I landed from oz. I've been wearing since. got caught in the rain twice, and let it dry in the sun. besides some graining due to rain and sun, the over all color has become a little bit mottled. additional laid flat pix.

Great jacket.

Did the jacket match the listing pics when you got it? Looks like it has gained more patina in the short time you have had it.

Looks fantastic! Great get. VERY jealous.

Was really impressed with the quality of the leather and the crafstmanship. Despite the thickness of the fleece which is 18mm compared to the21 mm of seal one.. the jacket is in the same range as my Aero B3. with a little bit more patina wear, and aging it will look really nice. Hope it will last long...

Victor, man, that color is just jaw dropping and that patina or mottled effect.... just wow.
