has to be one of these, but some have gone for the lightweight version as the original is warm but in a Morgan it can be too bulky!


I have the standard version. I can wear it from November to March on cold days or long fast runs - every other occasion it is too warm. A bit more thought before I spent a fair bit of money and I would have had a jacket that was useful on a lot more occasions.


I tend to agree with a few here that full shearling flying jacket can be a bit bulky and restrictive

I tend not to wear mine for that very reason

Instead I layer up as needed with tweed jackets, waistcoats and a wool lined parka or military type coats

One choice of First World War pilots which I do find useful is the silk scarf which is a great insulator against cold and wraps around the neck and tucks in neatly without the bulk of a wool scarf
