    Is the B3 jacket "too much"?

    I'm about to leave for work and with the wind chill it's -8 F (-22 C)....I wish I had a B-3 to wear today (warmth first, worrying about what others may think a very distant second!).

    M-69 Transport Coat

    Many aviators in Navy dirigibles wore them. There was definitely more room in an airship gondola to wear a long M-69 then inside a cramped bomber cockpit. I've also seen photos of Navy officers (Captains and Admirals) wearing them in extreme cold weather climates (such as the Aleutians). And...

    M-69 Transport Coat

    Hey Worf, you're right, there are definite design similarities between the WWI Barnstormer-style coats and the Navy M-69 transport coat. But the M-69 has many specific details not found on the Barnstormers, details that make the M-69 look like a WWII-era Navy aviator's coat rather than just a...

    What do you wear in the winter??

    Recently purchased a vintage LL Bean flight jacket with real sheepskin lining and mouton collar for $125 from a vintage clothing store and it was the perfect jacket for today's NYC weather: 34 F with rain/snow showers. Toasty warm wearing just a long sleeve t-shirt under the jacket.

    Iron Rangers or Wolverine 1000mi?

    Completely agree with you Worf (and happy new year to you, ol' buddy!). I have Chippewas, Beckmans and 1000 Mile Wolverines. All are very good, but the Wolves were comfy right out of the box and IMHO just seem a bit higher quality (fit and finish-wise). I did try on the IR's at a store in NYC...
