What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Stand By]

Great photo... I've spent many a night / weekend / week as my wife's guest at her pharma industry meetings and conferences and I have no complaints as to the level of comfort that supplies.

Thanks!
And amen! Utah is the most beautiful state I've ever been to in the US and the level of ease and comfort at the hotels (one being The Montage. 8300 ft up!) is off the chart and is beyond anything I've ever experienced - it's almost unsettling as it really isn't me. The fact that my girlfriend's boss/company pays for me to come along (and all the other partners/spouses or a friend) is astonishing to me in its generosity and I'm immensely grateful; especially as I get/expect the complete other end of the spectrum here at my work. So it's not lost on me at all.

Diamond Dave Jacket

Wow. That's about the coolest CR I've ever seen. Totally custom I presume. That's just bad as hell.

Thanks.

This was made as a prototype by Diamond Dave I believe. He then sold it as a one off on ebay and it passed through the hands of a couple of loungers before I picked it up on the classifieds.

It has warmed up a bit here, high of 42 with rain, so out comes the Sheene. It does well in temps in the high 30s to low 50s. Also does well in the rain. Or maybe it will be the ELC Luftwaffe? Same characteristics as the Sheene. Or maybe a G-1? So many jackets, so little time.

That's a really great DD. I remember when it was posted in the classifieds, I was instantly in love but I wasn't sure if I could pull it off. I'm glad it's getting the love it deserves.

I sadly can't wear it till Monday(when she arrives), but I will have a beautiful N1 Deck Jacket that I know I will cherish for MANY years!

@casechopper

The Cognac-colours are yours!

I'm not an A-2 guy who can spot all the subtle differences, but do notice the flaps on your pockets. What contract is that?

 

[casechopper]

I'm no expert either. This is what the tag inside says:

Casechopper, that two-tone just gets better looking every time I see it.

Wearing a Good Wear Perry Sportswear this morning.. This is made from JC's much coveted Indian goatskin. The hide is incredible... Sturdy, grainy, crusty, goat, which is a dead-ringer for many wartime goatskin A-2's

JC describes the Perry 'as also roomy in the shoulders and sleeve tops, more like a modern jacket', and I must agree. This is one of the most comfortable A-2's I've had the pleasure of owning.

EDIT: For those who aren't acquainted with the Indian goat used (no longer available AFAIK), here is a pic showing it, and the unique 3-piece inner windflap found on some Perry's. EDIT: Superfluous is correct in the post below.. GW still has the Indian goat availble. I thought I read somewhere in my travels that it wasn't.

^ Great looking jacket!!!!!

Ps: I think JC still offers the Indian goat. I know Himel has Indian goat.

Took Bambi (RMC Oklahoma) out for dinner tonight at The Arthur J Steakhouse (my wife and I split the dry-aged bone-in Tomahawk Ribeye -- as good as it gets).
