No prob. I've already personally derailed this thread, though ironically by making a well-intentioned post on the history of the uniform jacket.
But really, Pop's makes good jackets, you know, if you're that kind of guy that's into leather.

Why exactly do airline pilots wear leather jackets now? It seems obvious to me.
Sorry to take the original posters thread off topic. I'll let it go back to the original question.

San Diego Leather deer skin was my favorite. Then of course I went with a new company that only lets us wear the very cumbersome Perone. The zip out liner is absolutely worth it.
For the in between season, try the sweater.

Sorry, I think the blazer is ridiculous looking. UNLESS you are 6'0 and have the body of a Greek God. The leather jacket hides the "long layover beer belly" that so many of the pilots have out there. The bigger topic should be the absolutely stupid hat that so many (my co. excluded) are required to wear/carry.
