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

[Griffon_301]

this Star Wars jacket got me thinking again...Some time ago I toyed with the idea of doing either a black Tie Fighter pilot jacket complete with some patches or alternatively a grey Viper jacket from Battlestar Galactica... might be the time to start thinking again

A Galactica one would be really nice! Do it!

1970 dated RCAF Jacket, Flying, Man’s, Type IV.
I know there are others who don’t see the utility of these short jackets in cold weather for civilians, but the key is to wear a size or two taller than your actual height. I’m able to wear this comfortably on -30 C days without issue and the silky soft mouton collar is fantastic for warming the cheeks when necessary.

Is that the feather filled model?

To the best of my knowledge, it’s a wool interlining.

Weekend at my parent’s place in the mountains. It’s pretty cold, nothing that the GW B-3 can’t handle!

Superb. Couldn't ask for a better fit. Or a better jacket! Congrats!

Thanks for the kind words Chris, Jan, and Lorenzo. This is the piece that has convinced me to downsize to just Good Wear within the leather jacket portion of my collection.

I'm selling the BK Star A-2, Sheeley AN-J-3A, and as much as it kills me the BR AN-6552. I've messaged Stainer to see if he wants the Buzz jacket as I know that he'll get more use out of it going forward than I will. This Switlik is exactly what I've been searching for in a USN jacket.
