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

[Sideslip]

Bill-Bros 7823-D, 1968.
Sorry, not a replica JC

It was the G-1 that made me fall in love with this jacket again after my unfortunate experience with a G-1 7823-E (my post above).
I'm putting a sepia photo because of course a JC creation will always be more beautiful on this forum than an original!

(It's a joke, I love JC art)

For what it’s worth, I would not knock your 7823E and you patched it up nicely. I have one too, I picked it up cheap years ago and I still have it as a beater and really to let one or both of my kids abuse it when they fit into it. It’s still an official issued jacket and the aircrew still earned it/wore it. Of course, I joined this forum with only an interest in early G-1s and now…
BTW, is that a Cub you fly? Am in a Luscombe.

My plane is more like a Kitfox, but light plane: ultra-light in Europa.

No, Jabiru 2200A, 80 CV.

Cool, looks like a fun a/c!

Je vois que vous êtes en France. Vous aurez meilleure météo qu’en Angleterre où il fait beau la semaine et mauvais temps le weekend .

Hi, guys!
I'm out of town in my CWU-R and t-shirt from Schott Bros inc.

Recently received my order from JC with this lovely Gordon & Chapman ANJ3A. Managed to give it its air baptism last week with a short flight in the Luscombe. Really happy with it and know that it will grow in character the more I wear it.

Really beautiful Sideslip and that fit is just perfect as usual.

I think I remember seeing this one on JC's 'New jacket Productions' page (I always keep an eye over there to admire his works of art).

I couldn't tell initially if it was the early Mexican goat or the Pakistani.

I also have one of these beauties on order with JC, won't be for some time but this really gets me excited.

Well done and enjoy this one in good health, keep the photos coming!

New to me thanks to Stormmauer, ELC B-10. Not raining now, but not nice outside either. May need a different jacket…

Man, Sideslip. You really know how to get the fit just right. Glad to see you managed to get your hands on one of these, one of the nicest B-10's out there in my humble opinion.

I went flying yesterday. It was a cold, crisp day, perfect weather for a leather jacket. My trusty old ELC G-1 was on duty:

The ruggedness of this jacket means it completely shrugged off being worn under both a parachute and tight aerobatic harness. I guess that's kind of what they had in mind when they designed these jackets!

The "view from the office" wasn't too bad either. That's the Mont Blanc (Europe's highest mountain) in the background centre:

And "my" trusty steed, the CAP-10 (it's my aeroclub's, actually):

Ahh Lorenzo, thank you so much for this, simply epic. I can't fly (yet) but seeing shots like this reaffirms my dream.

Bang on about the ruggedness of these jackets. Nothing quite like seeing them worn in flight. Bravo sir!

Superb Lorenzo, the jacket, the Cap, the view and the aeros! A great way to spend the day!
