What's wrong with the white gloves? What's so "maligned" about it?
Don't see any purpose for that white gloves unless it made of fire resistant material like normex flight glove. But it seems similar to the type wore by construction workers.
Bingo!

Be careful Bub, next thing you'll be on the cover of GQ, and I'm not sure what the Emporer would think about that????
but yes, I do like your jacket, I have one without the lambswool on the collar.
I wear deer skin gloves when I rode my old sportbike, flying a heavy jet is hard physical work, and if you have seen the stick in fourth gens, it is big and heavy? Now FCS changes all that, but those Flankers and possibly even the J-10 require some muscle to fly to their fullest potential.

So that he looks like a ChiCom?
Seriously, it seems only fighter pilots from North Korea, Vietnam and China wear these ugly jackets.
If China wants better PR, they really need to dump these ugly jackets. Not to mention when and if they get shot down over sea, these guy would sink. The modern flightsuits NATO/Western fight pilots wear all have floatation bouy built-in.
