Should be a nice cool morning for walking in the woods.

Have a fine Tuesday,

Reminds me of Bruce Willis's jacket in Pulp Fiction!

Wore my Wrangler red and black checked jacket today.

Today dawned clear and cool...in the mid-forties...much cooler than any morning since last April. So I’m wearing a faithful reproduction of a jacket that never existed. This is my Spearhead Militaria, wool A-1. There may have been civilian jackets like this, back in the day. But I think the only actually issued military A-1s were capeskin.

Still...this is nice, comfortable jacket for a blustery day.

While in Maryland, we visited Fort McHenry, where Francis Scott Key penned "The Star Spangled Banner" during the War of 1812. Getting a lot of mileage in my LW G-1.

Picked this jacket up recently. It's probably mid 70s but I'll never really know since it was a thrift store find. It's beautiful leather and I just love the color. I absolutely love "brown" leather jackets.

Thanks for posting that.

I've looked at that on their website a couple of times, along with their wool and leather version, and its good to see a photo of one being worn outside of the limited photos on their own website.

It is indeed! In all my years of collecting I've never handled a hide quite this heavy. At 12lbs I'm calling 5oz. Megamax beyond thunderdome

Well UPS didn't drop it off until after I got home from work. But my Himel Heron will be worn tomorrow. I don't care how hot it is.

Jonesy,

Thanks El Marro
I have gotten a lot of really good advice from many very nice and smart people on this forum. I am doing a lot of studying, and have an appointment to see about taking out a 2nd mortgage on my house.

Calebd - Welcome to FL! I think that vintage jacket is quite befitting of you and you should wear it proudly!

Just protect your wallet around here, you may well decide to collect more...
