Ugh -- Hate that back patch. And sure a lot of corrosion on the snaps and zip.

Very nice.
Thanks for sharing.
As a side note... Size 42” pit to pit 23”... was discussed in another post...
WWII sizes and repro A-2 sizes are not always consistent nor do they match.

They often have beautiful jackets (A-2s, USN jackets, and even a cyclist), and I check their site regularly.

Amazing- you can see the color and sewing etc. in a new condition. The leather smooth and grainy- hard to get this exact look today- overdyed thin Shinki would be closest IMO. This is how I'd like any repro to look new- no need to "wear the shit out of it"- no need for artificial ageing- just perfect out of the box. Grain is not wrinkles- its beautifully just there in the leather.

That's been packed flat for a long time. Nice jacket but not a great fan of the back 'patch".

And I personally like it- I tried to make it back in my forgery days- one of them I made had 50 stars- doh!

got it. what's with the brass conmar zipper [never saw one on any rw], and the unusual amount of verdigris on the zipper and snaps, in consideration of the like new jacket and patches. weird

It's a Cable 27753. Many Cables and I think all 27753s had the Conmar.

Verdigris is cool IMO
