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

[CK90]

Thanks for the kind words Chris and Jan. 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.

I struggle to argue with that conclusion Lucas.

Now the question - what's the next deposit going down for?

Can't argue with it at all. GW is just the best. Even when I dabble in other brands, I do so knowing John could do it better.

When the time comes, possibly a B-3. I have been toying with possibly a B-15A or B-10 though.

I really want to just focus on downsizing, wearing and enjoying what I currently have though.

That's how it's done, enjoy what we have as much as future gems to come.

J.C is going nowhere in a hurry, best to take our time. I'm with you on that B-15A though, fancy one of those Hudson's!

Looking sharp! Are those Alden 403's new?

 

[Saint-ex]

They’re not Alden, but a French brand, made in Portugal, and good quality.
I’ve had them for about ten days, no complaints so far.
But very inspired indeed.

Sure enough! I didn't catch that they have a full welt. I thought they were a 403 with commando soles at first glance.

Yeah, it's a actually Storm Welt.

The rabbit hole with this is as John continues to make jackets, even he does it better than himself as time goes by! Its a reality that keeps customers coming back for more!

Now I'm really delving into the bottom of my jacket pile.A jacket i bought in the 90s from a army surplus store in Glasgow. Alpha MA-1,,brilliant jacket that's a wee bit big following weight loss, but works if I layer, heavy, supple leather with great knits.
