What's your next jacket...?

None.

I made the decision last year after nearly a couple of decades of buying jackets non-stop, that I'm going to wear what I have. If something wears out, dies, I lose it, then I'll buy a replacement but otherwise I've got more than enough jackets.

My Iaido sensei is a Zen practitioner and his whole less is more attitude to life has really rubbed off on me.

I get a lot of enjoyment seeing members' new jackets here but refresingly now I don't feel the need to rush out and buy anything myself.

I'd love a B-3 like Jan and Mr Mike's, I'd really like an Irvin Aero Leather Merino (pre-war), I'd love an A-2 GW, I often check out B-10 RMCs, I'd love an A-1 Eastman, and of course I'm still hoping to find my grail: the perfect cyclist jacket.

And on top of that, I'm currently mentally conditioning myself to avoid buying some very nice RAF MK IV goggles (with sun shield).


Voila voila

Probably a B-10, as the BR one that I bought many years ago doesn’t fit me anymore. When I got it, I was able to wear it with just a t-shirt, now it feels too tight.
If I’m able to find a good second hand BR size 42 I’ll get it. If I don’t, I’ll probably buy a Bronson or Gizemo, everything else is probably way out of my budget.

Been eyeballing some sheep on here for a while.
B-3's do look fantastic, but where I'm living, winters hardly ever required that kind a jacket. The poor thing wouldn't stand a damn chance leaving the closet for more then a few days.
Hit a -9C, 2 weeks ago, now we're back at +12.
That's A-2 + sweater weather.
Never had a sheepskin jacket, so not sure how much "colder" a D-1 is in that sense.

Living in EU, AVI is about the first that comes to mind if I should pull the wool trigger.
More or less affordable and from what I've read they can make a nice sheepskin jacket.
