You're still better off with the mask than nothing. If you can buy a Korean sun visor (whole face) and use the cotton mask underneath it, you've got impromptu protection.

I still own the Force, which is the best MC jacket I’ve ever owned. I also have the chopper and Commando.

Here is an artsy pic I have on hand. Jacket is from @tmitchell59
Zipper would indicate Pre-war (WW2)
Just a horsehide tag no maker label.
I like that it has no chest pocket, gives it a clean vibe. I also like cuff straps and will have them on my forthcoming Sheeley Built jacket.

Yeah better than nothing, but really cotton mask from shirt or pillowcase material like the one i wear wont do much, if you have short stubbles you see even your stubbles go through it. And it is absorbing humidity from wet warm air we exhale and soon the whole mask feel damp, i imagine semi wet cloth mask would be very easy to catch any particle in the air to linger on it as we inhale through it, and wet fabric become more pliable so evertime we inhale the wet soiled fabrics would flap toward our nostrils and mouth. Probably if the cloth is more hydrophobic like cotton duck or goretex, it might function slightly better, i have suede protectant spray to make the fabrics more hydrophobic, but im not sure if its safe to breathe through it seems poisonous.

What you are trying to achieve is preventing droplets getting into the nose and throat and also the eyes. Layers here would be important- anything that shields the eyes will also help.

@draš katalenić , we are becoming very familiar with your wood floor -- nice floor. Why not go out on a limb and post a photo of yourself wearing one of your jackets?
