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

[B-Man2]

Thanks Burt. Not sure if I'll wear it or just keep it in this condition.

I think you’d be ok wearing it. I have worn one for a number of years and it still looks new. As far as collector value, it will take quite a few years to become a collector piece. If you’d like to save it in its present NOS condition that’s good, but grab another one and wear it and enjoy it .
Congrats on your find .

12 months of fall would be nice

Well my state has been on nation state of emergency for the last week....but it's been nice to have jacket weather this winter

 

[CombatWombat]

Not vintage, not leather, but I did score this NOS cold weather jacket for a song from the local army surplus this afternoon.

Is that a CWP or CWA or whatever it's called?
Or is it a CVC one?

I believe it is the CVC version. I'd need to check the label to confirm. It's a heavy canvas type material rather than the nylon version.

Ahhh I think I've only come across a canvas one once before.....but it's difficult to find genuine surplus in Australia nowadays (pre 00's was great fun in the disposal stores before the sources dried up)
I've never been a fan of nylon/aramid since it's too uncomfortable against the skin in heat and humidity

Not my jacket, but here's a photo of the label (same size and manufacturer) taken from eBay. Not sure what the going rate is, but I paid less than $40 USD.

I'd have to rely on the seller making sure it's the canvas sort........ doing returns from Australia is a expensive game unfortunately

Still no jackets today. I looked at one of my A-2s but that was as far as it got.

A perfect day at the Baltic Sea...

No jackets this afternoon, only a light vest (Me) or a sweater (Mini-Me):

Some evening art right before sunset:

Hey! The only spam we like to see around here is the stuff that comes in a can - and even that we're not too wild about...

This is better!

Think I’ll stick with eggs, maple sausage and toast. And home fries or as they say in Quebec, 2 eggs side by each and a pair of toast.
