Definitely lambskin weather here the past few days.
Not cool enough yet for the heavier leathers.

Weeell, just as I posted last time, a second heatwave came thru - most pleasant for live humans, not so for dead livestock.
Today, tho - 50s and dampish. I may get the Eastman out. (Did I mention I got an Eastman? Here's a piccy.)
Rough Wear 42-1401-P, pre-owned

It was cold a damp here today in Southern England, so I wore my Lost Worlds B3. Mornings have been around freezing or slightly less down to about minus 3 deg. C

Goodwear Doniger. It's so comfortable for driving in and is one of the most pleasurable A2s to wear, whether repro or original.

Could have done with an A-2...
An A-2 would be handy for New England right now and walking about Boston, but weight constraints have worked against me so it's the Burberry or a vintage overcoat. Sadly, no flight jackets with me at this end, but it would be A-2 weather...

It's certainly cold enough down here now!
Heads up on an historic Irvin (supposedly)...
On the .co.uk version of a certain auction website, there is an Irvin which apparently served during the Battle of France (whether this is true remains to be seen, although the seller says that certification is available).
If true that's quite a little piece of history for sale.
Perhaps our biggest resident Irvin collector (Andrew) already has his eyes on it...
EDIT & APOLOGIES:
Oops I meant to post this in the Irvin thread. Can one of the bartenders delete?
(that'll teach me to type and drink red wine at the same time)
