I have that jacket, bought in 1999 I think. Fab quality but one needs a crane to put it on and don't try waving !!!

I like heavy jackets. My Aero Leathers highwayman is nearly bulletproof, too. Regularly worn they get softer...

Wherever you see a bunch of classic car enthusiasts, you'll easily spot the Morgan owners. It's like the Worshipful Company of Flying Jacket Owners annual outing..
They do seem to be the essential accessory for the discerning Morgan driver, and they do what they're supposed to very well. I think they're essential wear for chilly sidecreen off motoring mornings.
The downside is the bulk & the weight, of course. I find I can't wear mine with the hood up as it's simply too bulky, so unless it's freezing I compromise with a jacket that is lighter and equally as warm without the bulk.
Fashion sense with Morgan driver..? Some still wear the hated baseball cap.. I resemble that remark. I wear a wooly hat in the winter. The base ball cap is only for sun in the eyes.

Well I'm the odd one out then , I wouldn't wear a flying jacket.
Or anything made of fleece. Or any of the pub wear you can buy in sports direct. Or anything Berghus/northface style. Or a baseball cap. Or, unless absolutely blinded. sunglasses and100% never on top of my head.
Harris tweed sports jacket and waistcoat, or an arran jumper, is my cold day wear, short sleeved shirt when it's hot. I have the Morgan cashmere scarf too, it's nice.

Sartorial and locally sourced!  But what about a rainproof outer layer? Might I recommend a Belstaff waxed cotton jacket (Spring/Summer) or the same in perforated leather for the colder months?

I have an Irvin jacket and wear it when the weather is cold enough.
Love the warmth and quality. Don't care about fashion - if I did I would have a Boxster instead of a Morgan.
