    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    The one day you don’t wear a leather jacket is the day you need it most! I think this is how Stu tests his “bomb-proof” LW Horsehide! :p

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Florida promptly went from 80 degrees and sunny to 2 days of wind, tornado warnings and pop up thunderstorms. Buckets of rain just as we finished our tour of the Kennedy Space Center. I’m so glad I brought a leather jacket!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Wow, that is a great fitting M-422a @nick123! Congrats pal. With that lean frame of yours, you would’ve made a perfect radioman/gunner in a SBD Dauntless back in WWII :D

    Why is horsehide better than steerhide?

    There was also the long-held belief that A-2 jackets were only made of horse and goat, never steer.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Flew out of NYC to the Sunshine State for a week-long vacation. It’s 80+ degrees here so I brought my lightest-weight leather jacket, my Willis & Geiger A-2.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Winter Storm Skylar hitting the East Coast hard. Blizzard conditions, powerful wind, ice cold temps, blah, blah, blah! :D I know it’s starting to sound repetitive but it’s just more of the same cruddy weather we’ve been getting the past 2 months. On the bright side, it’s a great time to break in...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Here we go again! After 9 hours on the boat groping our way through white-out blizzard conditions, you get to fight your way home in the Jeep on snowbound roads and then shovel a mix of snow/ice/slush from in front of the house while the last of the snow pelts you in wind gusts of 25-30mph! My...

    What kind of flying jacket is this ?

    I wish that was in my collection @triple-d; it’s a photo I dug up of the M-421B, also labeled the AN-6551 on other tagged jackets.

    What kind of flying jacket is this ?

    You guys beat me to it! Lol!!! I was going to say it sounded like the M-421B Navy summer flying jacket. Issued late 1940’s to early 1950’s.
