These are wool serge USAF pants from 1949. I bought them on the bay in the US for 40$ including shipping.
You can always find such deals on these. They are so much better than any repro I’ve ever touched. And comfy as hell. But we’ll, yeah, they are grandpa pants.

Nobody puts grandpa pants in the corner, they look awesome!

Another “bomb cyclone” Nor’easter hitting the East Coast hard. Rain/snow/sleet mix with choppy seas and 50-60mph wind gusts. Got the old Navy-issue deck jacket on today.

Thor, can you control your boat in sitting position or in standing only?
Comfortable seat I see...

@Flightengineer we can steer and pilot the vessel seated or standing. However when you’re “on final approach” and about to dock the vessel, we always stand up for visibility and easier manipulation of the twin engine controls and the helm (steering wheel).

Thanks for the likes and comments for the Vanson.
Today it’s an oldie. First leather i bought with my own money. I sold a killer 69 Z28 street machine in 73’, bought this jacket, a monster Maranta stereo and joined the Marines. The Marantz is playing right now and the jacket is still kickin it imho. Boots by our Uncle Sam, Stetson on top. Not to shabby for 45 yrs. Grins!!
Be well. Bowen

Hi,
Amazing! I have the Marantz's 2230 Model (with Celestion Ditton 15 speakers) playing right now. It's just beside me in my office room as I'm typing this reply)! Still alive and kicking!

Not today, but yesterday was one of my Granddaughters talent show at school. I was nippy, at least for California that is, so I wore my Goodwear Leather Perry Sportswear A2. It keep me warm through the program. Now tomorrow when I go for coffee at my local coffee shop I will probably need it again.

Abba - Got to say nice jacket & stereo but really like the old Saab 9000! I had a '82 900 Turbo as my first car bought on my own in college. Not many of those left out there.
