Hey folks, its been a while.

With the weather beginning to turn I'm sure alot of you are feeling the cold in your Indy jackets, I know I am. So I ventured out to the shops and found a fleece which looks pretty good with my Wested washed goat.


The knitted cuffs gives it an A-2 look.


I got it in the Glasgow UK branch of Primark for £8!

cheers

Scott.

You've turned it into an A2!!

lol

I'm not able to view the rest of the images, but that is a great bargain!

TOTALLY looks like an A-2 (which I don't like), but upon closer inspection, I could see that it wasn't an A-2. Still, it does address the cold weather concerns for the Indy jacket, which are the breeze going up your back and down your neck!

Nice find. I would definitely prefer a MOTB sweater, but I wouldn't want to pay $150 for one.

Nice!

Looks very nice. Good solution. The jacket looks terrific too.
Regards,
Rask

It does look like an A-2 now. I'm lucky really cold weather isn't that much of a concern here in Arkansas. If it's freezing here, just wait a few minutes and it will be warm agian. LOL

Hey that looks pretty swell! Nice find, Scott

As soon as I saw it I knew it'd do the business. I've got an A2 style jacket too, but I much prefer my Wested

Now that's a nice idea! I was thinking about a "convertable" Indy jacket myself lately, but your idea is as simple as good. Very good! And yes, the knitted cuffs make it look very much like an A-2 ...

I'm really interested in seeing your other photos, but the link you posted asks for a password ...

Guys, what do you think of this shearling jacket from Orvis?





I know it's not Indy but looks warm and sharp.

However, the price is an eye-watering $2,500!

This is probably the only other one of interest


Just the fleece on its own. I had it on under my Wested today, not really the coldest day in Scotland but I could totally feel the benefit. It'll certainly be welcome once winter really kicks in.

That shearlings nice, but the price is insane!

Great, thanks for sharing - yes, you're right: this picture's of interest. Nice to see the "inlet" completely. Looks really good! I will have to keep my eyes open to find something like that, too.

I find fleeces a bit bulky for under an Indy. I have a thin turtleneck cardigan that is quite warm, and work great.

This does bulk up a bit but not to the point that its inhibitive. I really hate feeling cold so this is ideal for ontop of my base layers with my Indy to finish off

Jens, Primark do have stores in Germany, so you might be able to find this exact fleece.

Really? I didn't know about that! Awesome ... thanks for the info. I will start looking for one of their shops right now! Thanks again!

Edit: Ah, found 'em - unfortunately only in Bremen or Frankfurt. Too far away ... maybe I'll find a friend near there to contact and help me out. Anyway - thanks again!

There are various stores in Madrid . Maybe I will take a look. I think I could use that too.

WOW! Awesome job on the distressing! It's a very SA LC look. Did you use a wire brush or sandpaper?



Sorry, Rover I couldn't resist as I've been reading way too many posts on the variety and degrees of jacket distressing. The fleece is a great find and goes very well with the jacket. Once I get my jacket I'll be looking for something very similar to wear under it during winter.

Cheers,

Today it was pretty cold and rainy here in Georgia, so I bundled up with a Devold wool undershirt from David Morgan, worn under a regular T-shirt, and finally my Wested novapelle zipped up with the storm flap snapped shut. It kept me toasty warm all day, and it would probably work well under a good Indy shirt, too (the Wested Raiders model is a bit heavier than the Noel Howard).

Haha, burried in the back garden for two weeks and then tossed into a volcano before doin a little sanding

Darn, most of us don't have a volcano handy, otherwise we'd be all over this new distressing method.
