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

[zoomer]

Repop. Bush poplin, not twill. Emar zipper, not Talon.

What is it with pictures in elevators these days?
Has Ties started a new trend.......or did I just not get the memo

Techno is that the BRONSON A1?

No, I sold the Bronson awhile back... This one is an inexpensive made-to-measure jacket I picked up.

EDIT: I should add that I was QUITE surprised to find that ALL of my requested measurements were followed precisely on this one ... 23.5" P-P, 18.75" shoulders, 25.75" sleeves, and 25" back length. I actually like this one better than the Bronson, and it's less expensive. The goatskin on this one is more supple, and of a nice mid-thickness. More 'capeskin' like than the stiffer Bronson. I also had a 100% cotton lining (red) installed. It has the contrasting stitching commonly seen on A-1's, and acceptable knits.

I'm planning a thread, and will reveal where I purchased it then. This was an initial 'test' jacket for me to see what kind of quality I'd get. I went in totally skeptical, and was pleasantly surprised. I plan on purchasing another with just a couple of tweaks. If this one is an indication, I should end-up with quite a feature-accurate, made-to-measure A-1 for under $200.00 USD.

The more I see of the A1s, the more I am liking them.

Careful Jeremiah, I think your getting the disease.

I'm tellin ya ...you guys are making it tougher to be cool!

 

[Smithy]

Ties' elevator is suffering withdrawal symptoms

 

[Brettafett]

That is one hellofa jacket!

 

[Thomas Koehle]

Nice jacket - for me that’s what I call that “perfect fit” ...

although the elevator of Ties seems to be bigger somehow ...

 

[Greg Gale]

Thanks all, it's very subjective, but as you can see the smile on my face, it makes ME happy

I still cannot decide whether I like it with that whistle attached or without it, though.

 

[Earloffunk]

The good news is: you can take it off any time you wish to do so... ;-)

I have reattached it to my A2 and have decided not to give a damn about the funny looks and comments I get for the whistle. Some people just don't know...

Nah! Would drop the whistle coz it hangs that near on my neck - even though it may was practice in WW2

 

[Earloffunk]

Why is a whistle near the neck a problem? Or is it just e personal preference?
