    Eastman B-17 W.A.S.P. Jacket for ladies.

    I walked the dogs in the forest yesterday, musing on titles for your jacket. In the hour I came up with: No Step Sick Bay Calling Nurse Says Now Sally Forth Remove Before Flight Calling All Hands Attention All Hands Angel One Follow Me Naughtical Horizon Pacific Latitude Nursing Station Bravo...

    Eastman B-17 W.A.S.P. Jacket for ladies.

    Wild boar?!? Jesus. And I thought we had something with the coyotes at night in the distance to the north of us. Wow! But I know what you mean about watching your dog’s back. We do the same with the coyotes - and the hawks could take the little ‘un, so I watch the skies when she’s on the back...

    What you’re needing in a name Big J, is something Naughtical But Nice! Good for you for firing up the bbq! You paint a mighty fine picture in that with your pal, there.

    Hi Big J, Yes, all good here, thank you, and yes, all good at home. Last weekend I flew Toronto to Calgary for a two-hour window to pick up our latest rescue from Mexico. That was a loooong fetch! A Terrier-Dachshund puppy found getting a stomping from some guy on a street and a passing lady...

    Eastman B-17 W.A.S.P. Jacket for ladies.

    Hi Big J, Hoping all’s great at your end. I bought a ELC B-15 for my gal and she’s worn it twice in 10 years. She doesn’t like how short it is on a cold day ... so time to sell it here, methinks. Sheeesh. But the B-17 looks great to me. If only. Cheers!

    Another Eastman B3 Fit and questions part 2

    Welcome to the lounge, Big7, and I think your jacket looks spot-on in terms of fit. It’s a keeper! And it looks great on you. Wear it in good health for all the many years of service that you’ll get from it, Big7. And to anyone reading this today, Christmas Day, as the great thespian Kermit The...

    Bob Dong B-10 Jacket review with pics!

    ... and it’s like I always say: we are all fortunate to live at this time where there truly is every kind of jacket for everyone at every price point. Unfortunate name though. But it adds to the conversation! :)

    What are your thoughts on painted/embroidered jackets, nose arts on the types like A2, B3, B6, etc.

    Both. As GHT says, it just wasn’t a done thing. And it wasn’t. So that’s how they all looked - vanilla. And that’s classic.

    PS ... and one would not patch or paint on an Irvin. Full stop.

    RAF Fighter Command and Bomber Command and Coastal Command and the Royal Navy pilots and crew all wore the Irvin so there’s no distinction there to be made - but the USAAF were all somewhat more specific ... if it was me, I’d put bomber patches on your B3.

    What are your thoughts on painted/embroidered jackets, nose arts on the types like A2, B3, B6, etc.

    Hello Shin, There are indeed rules regarding patch placement; bomb group and bomb squadrons on the chest are left-right specific. As are the sleeve insignia - but if you get some books like Art of the Flight Jacket or American Flight Jackets, you’ll see original jackets that had anomalies - and...

    PS. And I like jacket art on A2’s and my Aero ANJ-3 and my ELC C3’s - but I wouldn’t put anything on my B6 or B3. I think they simply look better plain. Just to add to the confusion of my reply. But you may not agree. Subjective, you see!

    Hi Shin and welcome to this area of the bar... Well, it’s a tricky question you pose as everyone here is a little different, and everyone has a different opinion on jackets and manufacturers and hides and colours. It’s all subjective and some will approve and as many wont, I suspect. You might...

    which jacket for canadian winter?

    Montreal winters are worse than ours. Your snow banks are crazy and monstrously huge! I’d opt for a B3 and C3 myself. Or an Irvin or ANJ-4. Fleece up!

    ANJ-4

    My personal feeling is that the LW ANJ-4 will be too heavy and toasty for Belgium. If you lived in Nebraska or Alberta or even NY, I’d say go for it, but I think Belgium is a mite too temperate for that jacket. I understand it’s appeal, but it’s too much jacket IMO and I fear it will be as Sloan...
