    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Here’s a better pic of my 1980’s Willis & Geiger A-2 in natural light (pictured on the hood of my wife’s red Ferrari, uh, I mean Honda Fit:D). I believe that this A-2 is one of the rare horsehide model W&G A-2’s; you can see the light russet brown color under the medium seal brown topcoat in...

    Lost Worlds G-1 (my daily-wearer the past few months) during a torrential downpour as I climb around the ship repair yard. The LW goatskin is by far the best I’ve ever experienced!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks @ton312 it really was an eerie, other-worldly experience this morning.
