I put in a deposit back in November. I finally got around to letting John know what I wanted. I have few A2s already, and some are Goodwear so I decided I wanted a Navy Jacket. John and I discussed things and we decided on the Star Sportswear 55J14 G1. After receiving it, it was very stiff, and the goatskin was like cardboard. I applied some water via a spray bottle (after sealing up the knits and the collar), allowed about 20 minutes at low heat in the dryer with a dozen damp towels, let it air dry the rest of the way, then applied some Pecards, and now the jacket is almost broken in. The grain of the goat skin is something else. He initially was going to use a darker mouton color for the collar, but it was old and cracking, so he used some lighter color for the collar. I like the unique color.
Here are the pics I took in my back yard and gave to John for his site.
