It’s a great jacket but just to heavy and cumbersome for use in the small Morgan cockpit. I would still love to get one one day - the quality was superb and it’s a lovely thing, but just not all that practical in a small cabined car like the Morgan.

But I fell in love with the Monza jacket. As Peter (Gambalunga) points out this is far more practical for driving - very warm with something of the look of the flight jacket but less cumbersome and allowing greater movement. Because I need the longer sleeves and body they did not have one in stock so I’ve ordered and it should be here in about 5 weeks. The Monza looks like a great jacket for open top driving.

How did you like the speed humps? scared

I am so tempted to order one for myself. I do find the Lightweight Irvin very nice but it is a little bulky. (or is that me?)

I am very taken by the jacket that Rudolf has recommended. Very reasonably priced too. It would be nice for Autumn or Spring when it is not too cold.

Fitted very well in the Aero8 seats of Tango.
Many pockets and no sharp edges that can damage the car interior.

Only minus;The limited edition metal badge keeps falling out of the pocket.So left that one at home.
