Here’s something different, a rare RCAF Type III nylon flying jacket dated 1957.

I was taking photos of the sunrise this morning and decided to turn the camera on myself. I’m wearing a 1971 dated Star Sportswear 7823D which is a size 42. Interestingly, I normally wear a 44 but this jacket fits as well, if not better than my 1969 Martin Lane 7823D in size 44. Go figure. When...
