Would anyone happen to know what brand and style Felix's green bomber jacket with orange lining is that he wears on his photos/programme about his jump? Would love to know! smile

Thanks!

That's a pretty cool jacket although wearing a US patch on a RAF camp is a bit lame. Shame because it looks great.

Thats only slightly less tragic that the 'Gulf' Steve McQueen jackets sported by various fatties over the Le Mans weekend, who mostly mince around the place trying to look cool.

hehe It's a great looking jacket but I'd rather it didn't have any emblems unless I was part of the team.

I really like that jacket!

I think the random sponsor emblems like 'Zenith' etc add nicely to it.

But I'm not sure I would buy one myself mind you...

Is it the skydiving equivalent of buying and wearing a football shirt from your favourite team??

I'm not buying it either.
Besides I'd not want all the patches on it if I did.

They probably sell the jeans too but I don't have plums big enough to fill the extra large gusset!!

That's a cool jacket, partly the style, but mainly because of the association of what is undoubtedly a historical event.

LOL @ some of your comments biggrin

I'm not after replicating the great man, I get scared going up ladders these days (ex aerial and satellite dish engineer hehe). On the subject of the jacket, I'm just after a green bomber style for winter and thought the one Felix had on looked the tits. I dare say 'this article is currently not available' in my size may stay that way for a good while frown

At the minute it's a toss up between hanging out for that one or having a look at this one by Alpha Industries, surely some of you more well to do ('I own my own aeroplane') sorts will have had experience of this brand? What do you think of this? Negates the issue of badges all over the place...



Opinions?
