For many years, I wanted a proper "bomber jacket", which I thought meant a B3.
When I started looking - I found that such jackets were harder to find if you were a bigger guy. I'm 6'1", and weight about 230, so I don't have any hopes of squeezing into a 40"of any sort.
I was fortunate to...
We're in for record lows tomorrow in Boston, and I'll be wearing my RMNZ B3 as I venture out. I don't think I wore it once last winter, but I don't think I'll be called "silly" for wearing it tomorrow.
I always wanted a "real" bomber jacket, but owning one has proved to be a challenge as they...
I have a Real McCoy B3 and think it's great. I wonder what's going on these days in the market. Who makes the best B3 these days?
I also wonder what the value of a good B3 is these days. I see a lot of substandard B3's priced well over $1k, what's a good price on a well made one?
I got started on DM's back in the 90's. I was working for a financial firm that had suits expected for daily wear. The doc's were a good alternative after I lost a couple pairs of Florshiems to the winter commute. After a while I noticed the DM's worked in the office.
I wore the DM's happily...

One of my favorite quotes is "like you are being eaten by a teddy bear" - I do feel like that sometimes.
Another good thought is how nice it is to go out into the most beastly...
I am a fan of the Bean duck boots, and LL Bean in general. Did you know that all of their products come with a guaranteed forever promise? You can take ANYTHING back and get a replacement or refund. I'm not aware of anyone else that does this.
I have two pair of duck boots.
The first pair...
I have a B2 cap - it seemed a logical mate for my B3 jacket. I'm not sure if it's a eat match or "too much" when taken together.
Still, I like the B2 - it's quite warm and the brim is pretty practical - especially when the snow shines bright.
If you have a B2, do you wear it with your...
First time post here, but I have had some good advice previously.
A few years ago, I decided to get a "bomber" jacket. I was put off by a lot of the knockoffs - with their garment leather straps and hand pockets (even though I often wish for them).
I found a RNNZ B3 on eBay in size 50...
