Thanks Papa! Appreciate the lead. Great jacket. The Anatomica version looks quite a bit nicer than the Kaptain Sunshine, but it appears to be all sold out. No worries, I was able to identify a couple of the military models these are based on (M-421 A and an-j-2). That should help in locating a vintage or repro rendition. Thanks!
Some nice pics here.

Yeah they are nice. I love this style of jacket. I'm having my tailor make one up for me at the moment out of Frogspot HBT. The Navy pilot overseas is such a great resource isn't it!

Just before Christmas I suggested to John Chapman that a leather version of an M421A could be interesting…
I really need to chase him up at some point soon. It's just that since I last discussed things I've moved out of London, and been in Germany, China and now Australia!
Absolutely! I love toying those sorts of ideas. I wanted to do the deck jacket in leather but with a shawl collar.

Some crappy pics…
But the hat is very nice! -
My head shape don't like caps but I don't care.
I think it would look better without the shirt, but with some aviator sunglasses
-
Thanks @Papa Nui and @dylantbmayes - I do love those…

Perfect patrol boot for The Papa!
-
Are these the Wesco
FootBeach Patrol model?
The Papa put up a shot of the prototype Avenger Cap on his Instagram feed. Looks really good.
Ideal for summer? Damn, we're facing winter down here in the Antipodes!
-
Thanks Graeme, need that and a wool cap. Might get both when this drops. Keep up da good work Papa!

These Wescos are the Jobmaster lace to toe model made in rough out leather with contrast leather reverse side keltie tongue. These were made to my specifications using Iron Hearts fantastic ordering system. I gotta thank Dylan For switching me on though to this incredible service.
As for the caps the Avenger is a beauty but I also have the Catalina which is the denim version this is pretty sweet too. Both of these and others will be avail through Giles for the Northern Summer. As for winter in the Antipodes I've got stock of Convoy caps to go, in Deck watch Black and the all new Surf Blue colour, just hit me up and I'll get one to you ASAP.

Can't recommend the Convoy Cap enough.
If you're in the market then look no further than Papa.
Looking forward to seeing the denim Catalina!
-
Is the 'Papa Nui Nalu' Convoy still available, @Papa Nui?

Rehabbing my Grandpa's 100+ year old store is dirty work. Luckily, my Corsair had me covered!
