Selfie Time !!!

The done thing is to treat them ordinary, you never mention their book, film, song.
However there was this one time, I even got so nervous he had to navigate…When we arrived he asked me to take a photograph…’I wasn’t going to ask, Mr Thownsend’ I said.
‘I know’ was his reply.
His Wife took the photo, but I demanded we stood in front of my old Taxi.
Good day out, my second son was born hours later.

Your Paul Reed B-10. I googled and got a basketball player. No info on a B-10 connected to The Few Paul Reed. I expect it was rather pricey, but it sure looks good.

Hi Caf,

The company in question is THE FEW MFG.CO.LIMITED, defunct but you can still find some of their repros here and there, mostly in Japan. They were like an offset of Real Mccoy to a certain extent.

The Paul Reed Company is a maker of original B-10, from memory one contract in 44.

Hope this helps.

Nick if that's all then it's not insanity but just a basic set, but it seems to me that not all of your jackets were in the frame

Wow nice collection!

Takes a commitment to pile everything like that. I get tired just thinking of the work it would take for me to put all my jackets in one area.

My wife is willing to help me. Not sure I'd like *where* she'd pile them!

My wife asked me if I were planning on taking all my jackets with me when I go… I jokingly said that I was ………… About an hour later I found my packed suitcase with all my jackets on top, by the front door!

I have the jackets spilt between base and home. Keeps Tianna guessing and no fear of culmination if there is still room here or there.

USAAF Type A-2: Aero Contract No. 42-18775-P​

Italian Vicenza Blackened Brown with olive wool knits.​

One of the best fitting and comfortable jackets I own. The leather grain is lovely and has just the right stiffness that will soften beautifully over time. The lining is a heavier weight cotton which is slightly warmer to wear. Made by Paula at Aero Scotland.

Can't go wrong with that!
