    Never see that on Schott

    I wonder if this jacket is the "missing link" between when Schott used to sew the belt in the correct position and nowadays when they sew it in too high. In the photo below they got the left-hand belt sewn in okay, but the right-hand belt is too high (and today they sew it in even higher).

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Temperature on my walk this morning was 10C. We had a few days of low teens last month, which felt cool, but today was the first day that had a winter nip/bite in the air. There's no question now that summer is over.

    1970's French Pilot's Jacket

    ^ Oh yeah, you gotta love French military/paramilitary sizing... "100L". I ran across that when I was idly researching French firefighter coats. It was a struggle to figure out how it worked and I never really did, lol
