What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[El Marro]

It's too late for all of us. Stuck in pursuit of perfection that's been had, lost, had again, unrecognized and ah to Hell with it. I don't even know where I was going...at least my corpse will be covered in beautiful leather.

Truer words have never been spoken. I found myself really digging AbbaDatDeHats's new Vanson CHP when it occurred to me that my first cross zip was a Vanson CHP and it fit perfectly and why did I ever get rid of it in the first place...

It's too late, I should stick with my Wilson jacket, how about the fit? It is just size M

IMHO the sleeves seem a little too long and blousy!

It was kinda cold and hailing in Oakland this morning so I got out the SB shinki. Got home, the sun was out, and my first Cuanca was on the porch.

I have found a fairly successful way to minimize the amount of jackets I buy. Every time I am about to hit the Buy button, I ask myself "Do I like this enough to wear it instead of my other jackets?" And very often that reminds me that the jacket in question is nice but that I would never wear it. That's how I restrain myself these days.

In this case, I would return the Wilson because I knew I would never pick it over your Half-Belt or Highwayman and it would see no wear.

Perfect fit, for that day when you decide to rob a bank in broad daylight.

( polarized ...not recommended inside the cockpit...I know...).

How come? Affects instrument gauge visibility?

Distorted LCD displays and also often forward view

50s HB today

As well as distortion of visual landing systems on runways. The cockpit is not the place for polarized lenses. Especially now with visual displays and glass cockpits. There was a AC (Advisory Circular) put out by the FAA on this years ago.

That 50's HB is a beauty HH!

To make sure of this, we do not need any circulars))) , it was always obvious, sometimes it is enough to even take look at a certain angle forward through the front glass (multilayered). And also if you look at PFD and turn your head this is also noticeable, and no one uses polarized glasses , despite the fact that the aviation administration of my country did not release any circulars about it )))

Long sleeves and baggy. It would be better to wear it over thick sweaters in winter.

It's a joke. can't believe some of guys taking so seriously

FINALLY it began acknowledging that it is being worn!

Hey Monitor:
I recall posts of this jacket before but i don’t recall the details. Is it reviewed in another thread? All i remember is it’s unlined. Who makes it?
Be well. Bowen

Hey! It's Aero. It was one of the few jackets they did as a test pattern for the new trucker styles. I think this was the only Lee style? Not sure, maybe there was more. They're all sold out now. In any case, I knew I had to have it the moment I saw it. Bought it the next day.

Absolutely! I got one of his Milan straws some years back and liked it so much I got another one, just in case. By far my favorite straws, and I have about fifteen of them. Nice guy, as well.
