Meh, it looks like a plastic jacket with synthetic fur.
Well, I just did my last cut a week ago and I’m in Canada what’s the make of your b-10 Steve?The sad sack who spent all day on the mower cutting grass, it’s November FGS..

Despite the off frost it has been generally mild here, as it has been wet of late the lawn grass is still growing. I had yet to cut the last lawn in the background.Well, I just did my last cut a week ago and I’m in Canada what’s the make of your b-10 Steve?

You replaced it or did Eastman up their game?
That's one terrific coat, Smithy!Busted this out today. Love this thing, hugely comfortable to wear, and based on some of the sheepskin lined private-purchase fabric flying coats from WWI. Fun jacket and looks great with a submariner jumper.

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.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.
Any photos ??First outing in Fivestar Werber D-1. Not as warm as I thought it would be, but it is very comfortable since it is pretty light and roomy. Looooooooong arms though!
