    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    Just watched this flick; excellent movie (and the first American movie filmed in post-war Japan!). Bogey’s leather bomber jacket & fedora ensemble is as good as it gets!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Having just bought a slightly oversized Gibson & Barnes Civil G-1 off the ‘bay at a great price, I decided to experiment and perform a little jacket surgery (a “Jacket-ectomy”? Lol). I opened up the inner lining and inserted a lightweight Eddie Bauer goose down jacket and then sewed the whole...

    Cooper G-1

    My Cooper G-1 has both the big blue “civilian” style label and a mil-spec white nomenclature tag. I suspect that Cooper needed to fulfill their military G-1 contract anyway they could and just supplied the Navy with whatever they had in their factory. Either they added the white label to their...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Slogging thru a big winter storm; snow, ice, sleet, rain, and zero visibility in the harbor. I wore my Gibson & Barnes Civil G-1 (roomy enough for a turtleneck and a thick fleece vest). Stay safe out there guys!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    G-8 again today; heavy rain in the forecast for this evening so I’ll get to see how the horsehide repels water.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I scored a Gibson & Barnes “Civil” G-1 off eBay for a great price. It has welted side-entry hand warmer pockets (very convenient!) but otherwise it’s almost exactly like their Mil-Spec model G-1. It’s one size larger than what I usually would wear but it does have that WWII slightly oversized...

    30's Half Belt Test Jacket Fit Photos. All and any input welcomed...

    I would recommend an extra 1.5 or 2 inches in the sleeve, depending on how you prefer your jacket sleeve length (I’m a guy with gorilla arms so I always prefer a sleeve that’s a tad too long rather than a smidgen too short). The body looks pretty good (perhaps an added inch or so in front?)...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Thanks for thinking of me and my fellow mariners @Doctor Damage; it was -15 below zero this morning when I started work. Friggin’ COLD, and ice covered pretty much everything. Brrrrrrrr!:eek:

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Why didn’t I see that on the ‘Bay!?!? I’d have also snatched it up! You don’t see these big sizes very often. Looks like a great “chore” coat kinda garment, something to just throw on over a sweater or fleece and battle the elements rather than a form-fitting cafe racer kind of jacket.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Working on breaking in the thick russet horsehide on my G-8. The creases and wrinkles are starting to pop. I wore this jacket all weekend, from a Broadway show in the City to downtown Chinatown; from Home Depot to the supermarket; from walking the dogs to the local movie theater. The G-8 front...

    Identifying G-1 Maker w/o any lables?

    Congrats on the G-1 @Raven2k360. Looks pretty nice. I think you may be right and it might be from Pop’s Leather. Wear it in good health.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Two days ago it was below zero with ice everywhere. Today it’s 55 degrees with gusty winds and torrential rain. My “new” Gibson & Barnes F-82 has been my go-to jacket lately and it’s handled the weather quite well. The black goatskin looks sharp and seems indestructible.

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    I was going to revisit this thread but @Doctor Damage beat me to it! Out in the harbor the wind chills were -15 to -20 below zero; everything was shrouded in ice. Mighty COLD! I was able to fit 3 cashmere wool sweaters under my leather jacket so I survived the deep freeze (and there’s at least...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    After seeing that cool new Thedi buffalo hide jacket of @HoosierDaddy, I thought I’d post this; it’s a Sporty’s buffalo hide jacket that I found on the ‘Bay just recently (Sporty’s Pilot Shop were selling these jackets about 10 yeas ago but no longer offer them). Makes me wonder what exact...
