I shy away from replica, military
style jackets - especially those with excess straps, buttons and/or trim.
For civilian use, these features, though eye appealing, interfere with
the simple, weather repelling, on-off demands of my daily commute. As
it were, the EG Aviator jacket pares the original military style down to
its essential features.
The jacket is made up of an outer shell of cotton/nylon rip stop fabric with an internal wool liner. Despite all sandwich of fabrics, the jacket does not feel bulky or limit arm or body mobility. Nylon ripstop keeps out the Oregon rain while the thin wool lining adds a comforting, chill abating layer. In use, the jacket has an amazingly sporty, body hugging quality.
My two favorite jacket features are the corduroy lined hand warmer pockets (not pictured!) and the knit cuffs trimmed in wool.
Instead of a full storm flap, the FWK EG jacket comes with a snap front, semi storm flap. Here, I love the visual bling of these three snaps but the sturdy, two way zipper has a tendency to catch on the flap when I zip up
the jacket.
