    I have the right watches:

    Alas, no jacket. :-( Somehow I don't think anyone will be shedding any tears on my behalf. ;-)

    Regards,
    Adam

    PS - I would settle for a hat, however; does anyone know if it's available for sale at the boutiques?

    @ Adam

    I saw the hats for sale at an independent military apparel store in San Diego. So I think they are probably available online as well. A quick google check will probably turn up all types of sources.
    Don't think you can buy one at a boutique, but I bet they have a few in the back.

    To elaborate, to my knowledge clothing items like jackets are only at Flagship boutiques,which in the case of US currently means only New York. Also to my knowledge they are only "for sale" items. Occasionally small promotional items of nominal value, like hats, are available at boutiques and also some dealers, and sometimes used as gifts for good customers of that location.

    I was in the LA boutique last week and they had a bunch of flight jackets in the back.

    Hottest day of the year and my flight jacket arrived. A perfect fit and I can now look forward to winter with confidence. Thank you Oliver and all at IWC. I will enjoy wearing the jacket when the temperature drops.

    Kind regards,

    Ralph

    Congratulations, Ralph!

    You all should have a GTG to show off your jackets! ;-)

    Cheers!

    Got it today. Had to turn the a/c down full blast to be able to try it without overheating, and even then for just a couple of minutes. Can't wait for winter, mild as it is in these parts.
    Thanks IWC, and Oliver.
    All I need now is an airplane. :-)

    You are the one guy in the group who can wear a flight jacket and actually fly a plane!!

    Anyone else licensed to fly?

    That beautiful flying jacket is very adequate and I'm sure you'll enjoy it immensely.

    All the best!

    Kanimambo Jerónimo,
    I don't think I will be wearing it in my projected trip to Maputo in late October. :-)

    I can think about a couple of things that would be more comfortable...! You can always bring it just to show it to me and see me turn green - of envy. ;-)

    Cheers!

    Vishal ! When Nad first posted a similar set of photos's years ago (a wrist shot taken by the the wearer himself, from behind the controls) it quickly developed into the now famous "NAD SHOT".

    What on earth have you now started? - LOL :-)

    Great watch that VC AT - looks great to in the cockpit too!

    Thanks for sharing.

    Formerly piloted Cessna 172 Skyhawk N4378Q w. STOL kit ( most expensive misstriss in my life ), sure do miss her but could not justify the expense. License no longer current.

    No new jacket yet, but an old watch and nice view ...!

    For all jet engine/airline pilot`s: no jokes about "stall speed" :-)

    You're too big for that little thing!

    I don't mean the watch, I mean the airplane!

    LOL!
