That’s a pretty rare jacket, even for that vintage. JC has only made a couple of the SAT contract jackets. Unlike RW or Dubow, of which he has made a ton. I can see why it fetched a fair price. DD

Is that a Texas Flag on the right shoulder? Very interesting specimen indeed. DD

Gents, Though my post was set up as a yarn, a tale if you will, it is not speculation. All facts, but I cannot speak to the motivation of anyone as to WHY it was done. Suffice to say, this is a modified Rough Wear period. DD

Gents, I assume by everyone’s tenor on this thread that you all work 40 plus hours per week, and then work all night too? I assume that I must always be working and answering your questions or I’m a bad guy? Guess what fellas, I am allowed a life too, if it takes longer than you prefer...so be...

Frankly yes, you got me. Ken has been such a dick to me and my efforts that I had no compunction in watching him double down on assertions that were not supported. Ken is no expert on any of this crap to be honest. Side note: the actual seamer in question has long been maligned by Ken as well...

Likely Victor taking the piss, and seeing where it went. I doubt the intent was malicious, but guess it could be. This is why I didn’t want to tell the story, and expected one or both of them to do this. And to the first statement “if it is a doctored”, not if, it is just what I said. DD

Gents, Ok I guess I am doing this. First off lets just say that you have an old Rough Wear jacket laying around that is basically shot, knackered if you will, such as... and lets assume that the collar stand is badly damaged, as well as say the pockets and maybe the underside of the...

Gents, Not my story to tell, and I will let the OP or the machine operator, who is a member here as well, tell you what it actually is. DD
