I won't need it by 10:00 AM, but today my (new to me) vintage Golden Bear A-1 style jacket. Very soft brown leather (much darker than it appears in the pic), with leather collar, button front, and zipper that goes to the end of collar points. I have considered removing the zipper, but the second button is a little low for that and the look is starting to grow on me.

I can only dream of leather. Snow, ice, bitingly cold easterly blowing all the way from Siberia - too far north for the Urals to stop the bloody thing. It'll be parka weather for some time yet. Plus the driveway is an ice-rink, I need ice grippers on the boots just to make it to the car.

^ That's a really great fit, in my opinion. I know how tough it is to find stuff that fits properly on a tall thin shape. The jacket is a very nice design, normally I dislike denim but that's one that would tempt me.

Low 30s this morning brought out my IDF officer's jacket. It's kind of a B-15 meets MA-1.
No, it's all B15. The IDF has had some pretty cool jackets over the years, although not all of them are nice quality. I particularly like the cotton shell MA-1 jackets they had in the 1990s and early 2000s (as far as I can tell) which looked great as the cotton shell aged a bit, and were very tough and practical overall.
