What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[4444Design]

M422a made by Ed Church fully patched with US NAVY Liaison Pilot (USMC, 5th Airforce, NAVY), CBI MAAG

Not technically a jacket today but it could easily be because its warmer than most, my new (to me) Freewheelers 1920 CPO wool shirt

Not sure what that hand sign means in Switzerland, but in the UK that would get you a broken nose.... ;_) (bit like mine)

Welcome VV

What's the meaning anyway?

@Monitor @4444Design @Melebongo

Easiest way (and least potentially offensive) to explain is

Rest assured no offence taken.....

Obviously as opposed to this...

One may point out that Sir Winston used the "V-sign" so often during WW2 that sometimes he chose the palm facing the crowd as well. AFAIK, no one ever complained, but than its Winston Churchill...

Damn that's complicated. Palm facing outward, inward, it is a mess. A good ole middle finger is simple, universal, and unambiguous. Brits better get with the program.

What a one-two punch combination...
What's for your knockout punch?

Thanks.

Pick up tough one. Cal straight zip.
i wonder this was made in 60s...?

Nice

that is a nice looking Passaic.

Thanks
Passaic leather is my very favorite manufacturer!!

It dates back to the 100 year wars where the French would threaten to cut the fingers from the English longbow men they captured.

You could always re-write history Will.....

Good old Winston!!

Thedi in the rain today. I love this jacket!

The quality of leather that Rainbow Country use on their jackets is hard to beat. I got this RC car coat in red brown shinki horsehide today and its exceptional. Such an underrated brand for the quality they produce.

Baracuta G-9 Harrington. Beautiful red color on this thing, and it's really well made. Feels a little snug in the arms to me, though. Maybe it's some sort of slim cut? Anyway, if you've got a Medium size and it feels too big, let me know and we can swap for this Small!

Still figuring out the versatility of the OG-108, so I decided to wear Tex today. ( Tex because it was issued to my dad at Ft Bliss TX in 1978 )

This was my absolute favorite go-to jacket as a teenager and I haven't worn it in a good while.
I need to find somebody who can repair a few things on it, but for now I just baby it a bit.

 

[MrProper]

Today, for a change, let the red one hang and took the green one. Stupidly didn't take a picture.

Hi there!

Long time, no post except in the classifieds. Anyways, I got this seriously badass jacket in the mail today!!! A vintage Bates Terminator, bought it from @Monitor . The fit when open is near perfect, closed it is a bit tight due to my beer belly, or front ass as we say in Finnish (etuperse). Good motivation to shrink it away.

Beautiful day for a Kit.... A tidbit that might interest some - the first picture came out hopelessly out of focus, so I ran it through Topaz Sharpen AI software. Interesting results, introduced a ton of artifacts (primarily in the background - leaves), but it did sharpen the image. I guess AI has some ways to go, but progress is being made, lol...the bottom pic is in a good ole optical focus, no AI needed...
