What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Was feeling a bit frosty this morning and this was just the right answer to that; Quick snapshot of the sherpa lined mouton collar vtg Schott bomber jacket I wore out today:

That's what I suspected but haven't seen one without the bird on the back. Much prefer the birdless version.

If the bird was a cockatiel and the jacket was $4000 I'd sell everything to get it.

That hide is simply stunning and the sunlight really brings out the color and the grain. Yours is one of my favorite A2s I've seen here.

Thanks for the kind words! I got very lucky with the sunlight yesterday.

Yeah, keep 'em the way they are! Big, hi-res photos should be a must for everyone here.

I finally got myself a real camera so I'm taking advantage of it. It's all about the leather

A G-1 would have been appropriate here! Shame on you!

You're right @nick123 but it was a really warm day and a fur-collared G-1 might have been a bit too warm. The Avenger was, to me, the coolest plane there (although there was also a B-17 and a P-51).

I wore my douchy, hipster Good Wear Ventura! And to top it off, I went to eat Sushi. No pics, left the phone at home to actually talk to my son...

Nick123 beat me to the punch but I was equally surprised to see you wearing something other than a G-1!
That Eastman is a nice looking jacket though and it appears to be a perfect fit.

It's a beautiful jacket.

Thanks @El Marro! The ELC .50 cal A-2 is a superb jacket and it fits me like a glove. The weather today here in NJ was sunny and hot, 86 degrees F. I went to the air show at 9am when it was just bearable to wear a leather jacket. I was the only one crazy enough to wear one; everyone else was in shorts and sandals!
My collection is mostly G-1's and afew civvie jackets but I do have a couple of A-2's and today was a good day to give my Eastman some love
