Clothing.

I am finally irritated enough to consider buying some sort of jacket for flying. I’m sick and tired of trying to get at the phone, handkerchief, sunglasses, find a biro or a pencil, etc. when trussed up in a seatbelt and shoulder to shoulder with a companion. A jacket with pockets at the front and an “arm office” seems to make sense. In any case windswept airstrips make a jacket necessary, at least here in winter.

I am however concerned about fire risk. Polar fleece and all plastics except nomex are a huge liability in a fire so I’d rather think of leather as a compromise because nomex is too pricey.

Forget the Ace on base squadron patches, Ray bans and dinner plate sized watches, this is about comfort not style.

Any observations and suggestions?
