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.

The jacket is not vintage , but the camouflage pattern is :)View attachment 164319
Russian special forces used to use SS camo for some reason. Maybe still do! Must confuse their opponents who think they're the good guys!

Very good looking jacket Steve, you actually sourced and fitted the collar or sent it off
Its been crazy down south, one minute the Dubow and then back into the TCB shawl collar which is now starting to take on nice indigo shades

A parka from my Trip to Detroit and Dayton:

It’s a 60 yo Skyline Clothing, probably never worn. Front and inside are absolutely pristine, as is the hood, fur and knits. It was Not stored very good, which resulted in some stains on the back and some nasty rips in the fabric. Had to get them (visibly) stitched, but for 180 $ this was a great steal.
