Cool group but is that simulated patina?

I await the answer... if not the fallout.

Acme has had, as Burt puts it, "had the piss worn out of it"
Perry was refinished by me then "had the piss worn out of it"..
RW no.

*I wear some of my jackets when working around the farm here... come rain or shine.

HTH

Fallout?

Just thinking that a question about "artificial wear" might be a bit insulting.

This is my one and only Good Wear A-2. It’s one of those contracts that doesn’t get much attention: the 23383 (Fried Ostermann). It has some interesting details/quirks but it‘s very comfortable to wear and the goatskin is outstanding. I’ve only had it for maybe a year and a half so still “breaking it in.”

Goodwear jackets look awesome to me in the pictures I must say, I've never actually seen one, shock, let alone owned one but if I did I'd never part with it.

The A-2 can be worn as issue or as been there done that and got back. And for those who prefer a little patina there's nothing wrong with creating it.

Well, I was thinking more of the wearer and his more than artificial wear of his jackets.

Rushing in late again to this thread (busy times these days ).

John is beyond and above exception - as a person, in his craftsmanship as well as in perfection and dedication!
Here are some artworks I am thankful to own:

GW RW B-3 #17756

GW AN-J-4 Aero #13616 AF

GW A-2 Werber #33-1729

GW M-422A Willis and Geiger #S-74892

Love that one…very well said!

 

[B-Man2]

That Werber is friggin awesome !

 

[Micawber]

But we do not always wear the same clothing every day. One day it could be Savile Row bespoke, the next a patched Barbour, next a leather number, the next overalls.

Never judge a book by its cover.
