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

[ausreenactor]

Have not snaffled anything from Japan in a while.

Newly purchased overnight.

Never stop never stopping the jacket buys!

A nice 23380 by The Few. Have never had anything from these guys. As usual, the hide and colour did it...

Great price too. 'PayPal in 4' will allow for some more of the higher priced Yahoo Japan listings in the near future...

Jacket and Elcan scope for my M240 are on the way....

Was just cool enough this morning that I could wear the Cossack jacket to work:

It’s amazing how much better the jacket breathes without knits.

I know! I’m really glad Vic got in touch about a trade plus cash for the ELC RW. I don’t think there’s any other way I’d end up owning one of these.

Among the best I’ve seen - now I just need to find out what it is!

Pop that collar up Jan!
It’ll add to the cool factor.

b-man is right, get that collar up. when I wore it, I always had the collar up and the rounded lobes turned down a little so as to not bug my chin when turning my head. that second pic gives a good idea of those hides. I've never seen any hides like those on the himel, used by anyone, anywhere.

It is an amazing leather indeed.
It looks a lot like the leather of my second cyclist jacket, with a different shade. I'm not absolutely sure but I think it's cowhide

New Bill Kelso Star A2 I got a few weeks back, only took 6 months and I have to say Andy did one hell of a job, I love it. Been having some cool mornings up here in the Catskills so I have been getting the chance to break it in a bit.

Thanks, he did a great job on it, and after a few soakings in the rain, the grain is really starting to show some character to it. Hope all is well with you in sunny florida.
