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

I remember when I was living in Thailand and trying to figure out the Thai language with its 5 different tones. The same word said 5 different ways with different tone inflections meant 5 different things . There was one word said with a monotone voice that meant a girl was very pretty. The same word said with a high pitched tone meant “Cow”. It only took me a very short time to learn two things …. 1. The difference in the two tones for that word.
2. To stop trying to learn the Thai language on my own !!!

Oh boy. Dangerous. 2 meanings for one word with 2 very different possible outcomes

Ahhh … SHM ….
I realize that English is not your first language and you have done an outstanding job with all of your posts . Your English is way better than my non existent Chinese … however just wanted to let you know that you just made a pretty funny joke and made me laugh . The word you’re looking for is pliers … not piles (hemorrhoids)

Thank you Burt, that is what I mean.

ELC Rough wear 17756 B-3 Redskin pretty much near mint, number 229 off the production line so at least 20yrs old I’m guessing, a thing of beauty.

Original Superior Togs B-15A today. I’d forgotten how warm this jacket is. It’s hovering around freezing and I was sweating in it.

Oh and, for good measure, I’ve decided not to sell the Eastman tankers, so I wore them too.

This B 15A is beautiful ! Warm and looks thin. About the tanker boots you made the right decision, they'll become better and better. Even the width is too much. I felt this on many US Army boots especially the repros that makes in many cases only wide width like E or EE . I had this experience with my new ELC Raider boots 10.5 E , more like 11 EE ( and perhaps adding a E !!!) . Fortunately I always have large trek insoles in stock , so I use these . Have a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones ! Thanks again for the wonderful job you did , you and the other members with the " Mighty A2 guide" and this forum in general.

Non taken, Burt. Basically it’s my problem, tend to forget how to spell those words, that I rarely use.

Brett, your jacket your rules.

However, I urge you to reconsider!! This is truly one of the finest looking originals I have ever seen.

Honestly, it's this particular jacket, as soon as I saw it, that firmly placed a GW Bronco in russet on my grail list. The power of originals!

Your expertise is far superior to mine but I know a beauty when I see one!!!

 

[Brettafett]

Yes, it really is.
I plan to take some comparison pics with my GW Bronco, just never time...
Thanks for all the feedback gents.

 

[Saint-ex]

I second @CK90 !
