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

[B-Man2]

You're all far too curious !
You'll see it in due course, probably in a few weeks.

But I'm already thinking about the next one... one thing's for sure, it'll be a GW. I had considered a B-3 Rough Wear (like Jan's and Mr. Mike's... absolute beauties), but I don't know if I'll have many opportunities to wear it. The bulkiness also scares me a bit.
Come to think of it, I've only got one A-2: the BK Dubow. I like it a lot, but I'd like a second one, something a bit different.
I'm thinking of asking John to make me an A-2, giving him almost carte blanche. My only instruction would be to get an A-2 as close as possible to an original, with a patina equivalent to what it would have had just after the war. So clone combat, AAF decal (or other), maybe even a name tag (not with my name, but why not a tribute to a real pilot).

The idea is to let John have fun designing a jacket as if he were making it for the movies, with authenticity/historical credibility as the only criterion.)
These are just ideas for now...

This particular jacket caught my eye :

Well, I haven't been posting much lately, so if I'm gonna do it, might as well go all out !
I realize I forgot the A-2 Dubow...

I need to visit this forum less, otherwise gonna starting purchase high end A2 (s) , which I rarely have chance to wear.

Unsolicited suggestion/enabling: go for Shinki.

I totally second that. I have an Aero 16160 in Shinki and it is a thing of beauty, strong yet supple with endless reddish-brown undertones. You won't regret it, Kermit.

This one took a while to warm up to, but it’s a fabulous jacket.

You're going to love it, Jan. The 16160 oozes class. JC strongly recommended the pattern and I am happy that I listened. The Shinki HH is the cherry on top. Takes the jacket to another level.

It is way too cold for this jacket (0C/32F), but I just wanted to wear it.

How is that the mouton matches your goatee so perfectly?

Great jacket. Envious.
