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

[Bennarion]

I congratulate you on your good collection! What are your jackets?

 

[Brettafett]

I wouldn't say collection ... The only jacket that has actually stayed with me for many years is an Eastman B-10.
Currently wear my Cockpit A-2, AVI Bronco A-2 and Scott Suka the most. I guess, mainly due to comfort and wearability...
Currently have an Eastman RW1401 and a Headwind M422a for sale... Making way for a Bill Kelso A-2.

 

[Bennarion]

Brettafett is a very nice set of jackets, very happy for you. Thanks for the detailed answer

 

[Bennarion]

Headwind M422a very nice jacket, I wanted to buy if there was money for it

Hey guys,

I am back in my natural habitat:

Best regards,

Cheers! The thread went back to its traditional smooth & comfort appearance with Ties and his elevator' photos. Very very nice!
Welcome home Ties!

 

[Brettafett]

Aaaannd in keeping with the above tradition....
Cockpit Horsehide AVG tribute A-2!

 

[Bennarion]

Brettafett it looks like a battle

 

[Brettafett]

Yeah, trying to take a one-handed mobile pic of the back of a worn jacket in a tiny elevator!
Its a 'fun' jacket.... A tribute to 'Tales of the Golden Monkey' TV series. Not to be taken seriously by WW2-original-maker-detail-orientated eyes
I had the Blood Chit sewn on, knit and lining replaced and love it. Fits me great, has lots of character and areas of patina developing.

 

[Bennarion]

Yes, I like jackets from a horse, they are beautifully broken.

Phew - already thought the elevator is maybe down ... - glad he is still on duty ...

BTW: was that the "cheapo - A2" you ordered in PAK? looks good to me ...

Thomas,

you must be the most badass manager Mercedes has ever hired...or do they all look like outlaw bikers at a certain management level?

My boss was already born in a 3-piece-suit and his version of "going rogue" is taking a second scoop of ice cream after business lunches...

Another day...

...same elevator...
...same jacket...
...same bag...

...different boots: Astorflex Hi-top Desert Boot.

Take care!

 

[Pilot]

Wow...
Lucky you guys...
The people who pay me would never allow me showing up for work/duty when not very formal... ( a few exceptional occasions may happen though...)
Thx for sharing

Compassion and understanding of you, Pilot. I'm with you in this boat
For me all my jackets also the clothes of the day off ...damn, my company will never allow nobody of us to fly not in A2 or G1 but even in any other jacket ...only for FFS training sessions sometimes when we are all wearing jeans.

 

[ausreenactor]

Man.. I wear the same outfit to work every day? I would love to wear a jacket for once...

[Thomas Koehle]

Ties those boots look splendid!

Also your bag with that subtle aging is looking better with time ...
