I am technically wearing a jacket in these photos, plus hopefully the car is cool enough for me to post these photos :)
Congrats and Best Wishes there Dude. I’ve always liked the vintage style you’ve embraced in your wardrobe.

I laugh when I hear people say "old guys don't look cool" in leather jackets. Some may not realize that the old guy not acting his age may be one of the original "guys in leather jackets."

Last week, Brigadier General Charles McGee celebrated has 102nd birthday. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1919, he is one of the last living members of the legendary Tuskegee Airmen, an all African-American military aviation group which flew and fought with great distinction during World War II. He was stationed in Italy with the 302d Fighter Squadron of the 332d Fighter Group, flying his first mission on Valentine’s Day 1944.

He served for more than 30 years and flew a total of 409 combat missions in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, one of the highest combat totals and one of the longest active-duty careers by any Air Force fighter pilot in history.

Gen. McGee faced much discrimination during his time in service, but fought for his country with honor and dignity. He has spent a lifetime inspiring others with his wisdom, goodness, and mentorship for all people to live up to their potential and to help make our communities, our country, and this world a better place.

Thanks Gents, I was a few backyard beers in at this point and got Lucky with a decent pic



this happens to be a size 44 in lieu of my normal size 48 so down 2 sizes. It fits and I love it but I think a 46 would be slightly better for me. So yes size down 1 while hitting your desired measurements in all areas

Yeah, I'm normally a 38, but even their 34's seem a tad too big. Especially the sleeves. It's always the damn sleeves with me. :(

Thanks though. I appreciate your response.

My new Lost Worlds suburban 4oz HH with all the crown zipper upgrades. Picked it up about an hour ago from UPS on my way to the airport. Put it on in the car and just boarded a 4 hr flight to Anchorage, AK. This is a suit of armor, but oddly comfortable. Love it!

My mother-in-law is in Anchorage and just reported a high of 0 F today! Hope you have something to throw on top upon arrival!

Thanks to everyone for their kind wishes, advice, and words of encouragement! I have read each and every one of them and I appreciate them all very much. You guys make this community so wonderful and welcoming. Sorry for not replying to all comments, but I have already messed up this thread enough as it is :p

Here's some pics of a leather jacket to make up for it slightly - Freewheelers Bodie:
