    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    My wife treated me to dinner for Veteran’s Day at our favorite seafood restaurant. Happy Veteran’s Day to all my fellow Vets!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I was playing around with my cel phone camera today to make a photo of me in my M-422 look more vintage. The pic was taken today on a cloudy/drizzly afternoon but when converted to b/w it could almost pass for the 1940’s.

    The ultimate aviator style jacket...

    For me, the Eastman Air Comfort comes pretty darn close. It has 2 inside snap-close pockets for extra storage. The quilted lining makes it pretty warm, and nothing says “Aviator” quite like a big mouton fur collar!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Today I wore my U.S. Wings black G-1; the forecast was for “light rain” but it turned into torrential downpours with chilly temps (a good day for a thick, warm mouton collar!).

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    Kathleen Cheung, 1930’s Aviatrix, one of Amelia Earhart’s famous “Ninety-Nines” and the first Asian female in the U.S. to earn her pilot license (after only 12 hours of training!).

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    The US-A russet horsehide is quite smooth at first but after only afew weeks of wear, the grain pops right out. Seams are loosing the topcoat and taking on a nice burnished edge. This jacket should look really good after one or two winter seasons of harsh Northeast weather!

    Filson Leather Jacket.....

    One of these Filson half-belts just sold on eBay. I was very tempted but the sleeve measurements were a bit short for me. Looked like a very nice jacket!

    Aero Sale Oct 22nd 2018

    Don’t feel bad @Jimi3legs, I had a similar experience but for different reasons. I was up at 4am (US East Coast time) to check out the sale before all the good stuff was gone. I found a shearling-lined tumbled brown HH Maxwell in size 48 (with nice long 27.5” sleeves; perfect for me) and bought...

    Proper G-1 Jacket Fit?

    @dannyk I’m a big fan of eBay and you can find lots of bargains if you search for a while. Original G-1 jackets in good condition can usually be found at a fair price, especially those in sizes 40-44. I’m a 46/48 so it takes a bit more searching and patience! As far as mid-level jackets go, The...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Wore my Navy deck jacket today on a blustery afternoon while taking a tour aboard the world’s largest Viking ship, the Draken Harald Harfagre (my Norwegian ancestors would be proud!).

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Cold weather is here in NYC; it was 36 degrees this morning when I started work. Broke out my trusty (and warm!) Navy-issue flame resistant deck jacket (added a safety whistle and my old U.S. Navy dog tag onto the zipper pull).

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Lately it’s been the G-1/M-422 at work and the horsehide G-8 on the weekend. Damp, drizzly, chilly weather makes the mouton collar a real luxury! :)

    Where do you like your sleeve to end? Wrist? An inch below? Your first thumb knuckles?

    I agree with @Doctor Strange; to me knit cuffs look good at or just below the wrist while jackets with a more open cuff (with a larger circumference) look better slightly longer (thumb knuckle).

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    After a Mets baseball game at Citi Field, wandering around Hudson Yards in NYC wearing my horsehide G-8. I’m really liking this jacket!

    Breaking in my new russet horsehide G-8 the “Indiana Jones” way, at an archaeological site “somewhere in the Middle East”.
