IHM-43-NAV - Nylon Type L-2B Flight Jacket - Navy Blue

[JunkPants]

I thought all hope was lost, but found one the other day at Aitora (they still have M and L in stock if anyone is looking for one), and it just arrived today.

Wow, instant favourite. Very cool jacket. I'm sure this one will see a lot of spring/autumn use over the next few years.
Love both the bombers from this season.

Pictured with a few brethren.

This thread has been a little quiet and curious how everyone is getting along with these jackets. It’s one of those where I kind of regret not picking up, but did so because I have too many in rotation.

Are they warm, durable, windproof, etc.? Love to hear some thoughts and feedback on them.

[Matt]

Love mine, very glad I was able to find one after the party. IH technical/nylon stuff is so great. I’ll throw it on this weekend and will take some action photos on a dog walk for you.

I didn’t originally get it because I heard a green MA-1 was likely in the foreseeable future. (Orange lining ). It haunted me and I pulled the trigger about a week after getting back from Gosport. Now that I have it, I can totally see space in my closet for both.

@Matt I have talked myself out of Sage Green MA-1’s from Real McCoys and Buzz Rickson’s for the last couple of winters, if IH do make one I’m definitely on board.. you’ve got me crossing my fingers now!

@Matt obviously, those are totally different jackets and implying otherwise is crazy talk.

[Matt]

I heard it from a reliable source but the distance between We want to make this and It’s being made is subject to Japanese calculations.

@Matt I’ll be so glad I held off from the other ones if you are right

This jacket sold out so fast I thought we might see more posts. I'm guessing lower numbers produced?

[Matt]

The temperature goes from60 to 45 to 20 then back again in a matter of hours so I can only wear this on the more moderate days. I’ll try to get some photos next time I wear it. It’s been getting its turn though thankfully.

I am going to sell this jacket I have tried it on so many times in the last 6 months and I just don't love the fit enough and still haven't worn it. it's just too short (I know, I know--it's the style).

@JerkStore what size?

"Buying and Selling" please gents

This thing vanished. I'm always looking to no avail.

@Matt we were promised photos. Are the temps right for wearing it now?

Here’s a xpost from when @endo was here…

[Matt]

I’ll throw it on later and snap one.
