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

[Ken at Aero Leather]

Hard to judge, poor lighting, but from what can be seen the BK appears to have the neatest stitching on the zipper

I was with a friend back in 2002 who bought an ELC Star new. Quite different from yours. Looked nice, personally didn't like the 'pink' stitching

 

[Earloffunk]

The BK Dubow is also a size 40. It fits trimmer than the Star, which is a little bit roomy. But its good to have some space for wearing a sweater underneath. But the Star is a little bit too "formless" - both Dubows have a neater appearance.

As for the pink stitching - never noticed that. Will have a look later on.

The BK´s sleeves could be a tad longer - about 1-2 cm. They run a little short for my taste but the look is still ok and I really like the jacket.

As for the poor lighting - I agree.

Just checked on the ‚pink stitching‘. I wouldn’t call it pink though it’s hard to describe the color of the thread.

 

[Brettafett]

That doesn't look 'pinky' at all. Maybe it was just that 2001/2 batch, but it was a very pinky brown thread, contrasting a rather 'flat' darker seal horsehide.

The Stars of recent definitely have “strawberry” colored stitching. It was actually quite a nice feature.

Yep, I'm hearing' ya. Dig collar stands

As the weather is a little cooler today I chose to wear my GW RW27752, not worn this A2 for quite a few months.

Today's probably the warmest day of the year over here with 34-35 degrees, so no jackets. Here's a throwback ,though. I found this funny picture taken in San Sebastian last September at the Billabong Surf Camp. I took my patched/ painted/ torn beater A-2, an Avirex from the 80s. It's just so comfy, and I love the drape, very flexible, surely not horse, nor goat. This picture demonstrates what happens when your skateboard's wheels meet an unseen little stone

Great way to add 'patina' and 'character' to a flight jacket Greg!
Not to mention cuts, scrapes and bruises.

Wind and rain last night, so thought I'd try the ELC Irvin

 

[B-Man2]

We had wind and rain here last night as well, so after seeing your photo I put on MY Sherling flight jacket.

The only problem was that it was 92 degrees here in Florida!!

 

[Lebowski]

When temperatures reach 92 degrees - I may wear shorts only, and have only one thought then: if we have watermelon in our fridge))

 

[Thomas Koehle]

OK - not today but 4 years back when I took place at the D-Day celebrations in Normandy wearing watch cap - USN deck jacket (repop purchased via EBAY "Barry Lyndon" - do not even know whether the shop still exists) - ATF hbt`s - period gaiters and repop rough outs

was friggin` cold back then even in summer but the French / norman beer and "cusin" helped a lot

LW Dubow in "chilly" 18,5 Celsius ;-)

 

[Smithy]

That's one of the reasons I miss my old convertible, everyday was flight jacket weather!

 

[D97x7]

I felt chilly earlier so pulled on the Eastman vest
