I like to wear just a shirt. I find there’s ways to adjust to a hot jacket. I have to hike a big hill with my baby boy in the stroller and start to sweat. Making sure your cuffs are rolled up helps. This has to be done while the coat is off. Collar must be down...Side straps lose... and if it’s still too hot with the coat open but you’re not in a position to take it off, bang your elbows into your ribs like a chicken. This makes a draft in the back of the coat taking out the hot air. I’m sure many pilots did this while flying in WW2. Everybody is a flying chicken [emoji215]

punch activated instant cold compress packs, have some inside your inside pockets , and when you're hot, punch yourself on the rib to activate the cold pack.

Or you could just not wear a jacket when it's too warm for one.

This one, too.

We all want to hear about this beauty!

This is my first quality leather jacket: 1968 Martin Lane G-1. It remains my favorite and I always wonder about its history.

I ain't never gonna part with it.

Aero Black FQHH CR purchased from Tweedydon.

It's not the nicest or newest but I'd never part with it. Love this jacket, it's amazingly comfortable and the fit is perfect for me.

I recognise that jacket!

It was a great jacket for me for layering but the sleeves were just a bit too long for me and I had 3 other black cafe racers at the time. Nice to see it’s found it’s forever home.

Like seeing your wife in bed with another man! Great to know that's where it came from. I remember TD mentioning he bought it from someone across the pacific.

It's really a great jacket and I couldn't be happier to have found it. Fits me spot on and I wear it as often as I can. Glad to know it came from someone with similar tastes!

We should start a Vic Navy BR club!

I only have a couple of nice leather jackets. A few older G-1s and this Goodwear A-1. The photo is from a while ago, when I was a bit younger.

I've had an A-1 on my list from the moment I fell down this rabbit hole. It'll remain there until I scratch that itch.

Right now these four are my keepers... though I am still trying to find that keeper cross zip.

The teamster doesnt make the cut?

 

[Dav]

It does, it just doesn't hang on that pole, there's a steerhide Cheyenne that ain't goin' nowhere either, even though I haven't worn it for a few years.

Didn't realize how much lighter the teamster is than the highwayman.

I was quite surprised by that myself when I looked at the pic.

Fantastic collection. How does the B-3 compare in weight and warmth to the Irvin?
