That's one terrific coat, Smithy!

Thanks mate!

I should mention that like most fabric/leather WWI flying coats it's belted but I've secured the belt at the back as I didn't feel like having it belted - I do the same often with my Aero Barnstormer.

My wife LOVES it which is a major plus, she calls it my Lord Flashheart jacket bless her ;)

Actually women here seem to like it as I've gotten quite a few lovely comments from the fairer sex when I wear it. I suppose it makes a change from all the parkas and puffy down jackets that people usually wear when the weather gets cold.

So, could we get an idea of how you wear it? :) It is difficult to judge how a coat is cut before it is placed on the body. The surface is so large that even when it is bent for example it seems straight when it is hung. And , yes , I confirm about the nice comments from ladies when you wear a coat , I got a USAAF blue one from 1951 , great fitted cut and long , it flatters the figure and slims !!! Yours is very elegant.
