Tom,
I've got a made in Scotland sheepskin bomber jacket, a sheepskin flying
helmet and goggles for those windscreen down, fall and winter jaunts in the
TC. I personally don't care if I look like a moron or, worse yet, a posier
when rigged up in this get up. I'm WARM! Last Christmas Santa brought my
wife a lovely sheepskin jacket for the same purpose. She, however, cannot
bring herself to wear a flying helmet.
If I had an `79 B and was going for a drive in February I wouldn't hesitate
to pull the old sheepskin helmet on. In July I might think twice.....
Any other time finds me with either an MG logo ball cap or, more likely, a
grey felt Kangol. The Kangol is my personal and perennial favourite.
Cheers, eh!
