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

[Flightengineer]

In the high 50s (around +13 for our metric friends), so I thought I'd pull out an oldy but a goody - BK Star:

Does this Star have thick leather, Jan?
I can't wear A2 on a t-shirt at +13C, I'm just cold

 

[mulceber]

I might have been, but it was a sunny day already, so that helped keep me warm. I agree though that 13C is normally tilting into G-1 weather.

Hello,

Just back from a ride in the countryside, way down south, like 10 min from the state of New-York. We decided to stop and have our picnic in a very old cemetery where Irish and French Canadians are buried side by side, often in marriage!

Here's my Aero Scotland and my girlfriend 80's Brimaco Cafe Racer.

It’s nice to see someone enjoying cool jacket weather and having a nice time.

Burt,

We were pretty much spared from the heatwaves experienced or suffered all over EU and US East/West coasts this summer! September has been cool and then warm, perfect jacket weather, hope we enjoy it as far as autumn permits it. Putting the Triumph away for winter is never a good day.

Yesss !! for the first time since late June, it was cool enough for me to wear a flight jacket !
I didn't take any pictures but it was the Dubow.
Before I got excited about this stuff, I never thought I'd be looking forward to the end of summer so much.

I got to wear the ELC A-1 a couple days and even treated it to a good dose of rain.

Avi M422-A, now that leather jacket weather came back , it’s so confortable, and it’s quite windy today, so not too warm to wear it.
And the shades of that mouton collar under the sun is fantastic !

 

[flyincowboy]

Yes cool enough for the 5 star Roughwear 27752 with a re dyed job love this jacket.

Throwback Friday. GW Doniger.

Didn’t know what I had when I had it. Perhaps one of the classiest A-2s there is. I’d be interested in a Spiewak one day too.

Thanks for passing that one on to me!
Great jacket!

For “Throw Back Wednesday” something a little different. Some photos from a member who was here only long enough to show us his Grand Dads Original Werber 1729 that he inherited and to ask for our advice about changing the knits out on the jacket.
We explained how rare of a jacket he had and suggested that he just leave the knits alone however,
I don’t think he listened to our advice.
I wonder how it all worked out for him

did even know they were making A2 (and as a mater of fact, any WWII period jacket) in that size!

 

[Brettafett]

@Nickb123 ... the one that got away.... And landed in @entertainmen 's lap.
I'd love to see more pics of this jacket. I've come to really like the Doniger's unique profile.

Not to make waves, but that sure looks like the hide on my Gibson & Barnes goat A-2.

Oh, and it looks like there might be jacket weather around here next week!

I know that the hides were from a French tannery. They get nice edge wear.
It was made in 2010.

Awesome looking jacket John!!
The fit is perfect .

I'm pretty sure my G&B was made in the late '90s or early '00s (bought second-hand off eBay), but I don't know if FS/GB have ever disclosed their hide sources.

 

[Micawber]

Hmmmm, still too busy and too warm here to wear a jacket let alone pose for photos. That said my wife and daughter reckoned they were cold today
