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

[B-Man2]

When a jacket has such nice leather and look, and the fit is great, who care for accuracy? Definitely has the 30's inspired cut.

You look good in it too.

Cheers,

D

Thank you Dany

While I have no proof of this, to me it looks like this jacket was used as the inspiration for the Wested Indiana Jones Jacket. What do you guys think about it ?

Burt, I don't see it as the inspiration for the Indy jacket, the back is a 3 piece and the side buckles are differently positioned, etc...

I know I've seen this cut/style reproduce in Japan...

Impressive, looks really nice for a Avirex. Even it may not be the repro of a real military issued jacket, there's no doubt such jackets were widely used in the civilian 30's

Today it’s “The Jacket That Never Was”
A jacket that was marketed and sold by Avirex as the USN G-8 flight jacket. It was supposedly used during the 1930s time frame but there is no historical or photographic evidence that this jacket was ever issued by the U.S. Navy.

Nice jacket nonetheless Burt. Beat it up, put on a newsboy hat and I can see you on the new York docks in the dirty thirties.

I think it was an inspiration for a Raiders jacket:

Gizemo N-1 (I‘m madly in love with this one)

It's 14°F this morning. Not sure if I'm a fan or not. My RMC N-1 and this original M-65 with a liner have done fine keeping me warm the last three days with a couple layers underneath. I'm starting to suspect that I need something with a warm hood. My shaved head and neck are still cold with a beanie and turned up collar.

At 14 F … that’s N-2B or N-3B weather. My choice would be an N-3B. The short N-2B was worn with nylon USAF Artic bib overalls and with just wearing jeans … my ass gets cold !

Thanks Burt. I'm sorely lacking in any cold weather jackets. I've always just worn ski-type jackets when it gets below 32°F in the past, but that doesn't really mesh with my wardrobe nowadays. I was dead set on finding something in shearling, but my bigger need is probably something in nylon or cloth with a hood. This bare head thing is fairly new to me and it absolutely sucks during this type of weather.

In that case get yourself a double thick Carhartt fleece lined hoody to wear under your M-65 .
With the knit cap and the hoody pulled up you should be toasty . Trust me I lived in Pittsburgh years ago where the winter temps got down to single digits . It works .

One of my warmest combos is a fleece lined zip hoodie and m65. It’s like a fireman’s jacket

15 Fahrenheit and a bit too cold for my favourite jacket, but I only need to make it to the car Bronson watch cap protects the spots where hair used to grow.

Excellent suggestion Vincent. I would be lying if I said that I hadn't thought about a Coastal Command.

Luke, a M51 hood can easily attach on the field jacket.
