Hi Smithy. I have WPG money only. No way can i afford 1500 nzd as a price point. Plus another 150 shipping plus Gst plus import tax. ......plus i already hit buy..... Everyone... This forum reminds me of pre facebook days with its warmth and knowledge and grace. Thank you all for the help...

The seller has offered it to me for 250 usd. It was 295. Does this seem fair given the impending buckle malfunction?

Just got messaged that the buckle is fragile and will break easily, I've asked if they have spares as i saw this thread https://www.vintageleatherjackets.org/threads/what-price-glory-my-experience-and-its-not-good-re-my-irvin.25831/ If the answer is no, is finding and fixing a replacement...

I'm apprehensive that the extra size and the thinner fleece is gonna make me swim in the WPG. Dang. 1st world problems... But thank you for the photos and advice so far :-)

LOL. Grow into it..... I'll have to put on weight and I've been losing it (On purpose, not due to ill health) Gym maybe? Anyway, Thanks for the nudge. I'm still nervous about it and I'm still thinking on it and I'm still not sure The WPG has a 10mm pile I seem to remember. Would the WW2...

The seller messaged me. They have a size 42 available. I am a 40 chest. I have read the wpg runs large by reading posts here. Would I be ill advised in buying the 42 knowing the oversized nature of the jacket and that I'm buying a size above my measurements? Or does shearling "shrink" as...

Fingers crossed .Thank you for the post. Here's hoping Shawn drops by & confirms sometime soon

I heard rumors that Shawn Ali is doing just that Unsure if they are correct and if so where his progress is up to I'm sure he and his team would make an awesome product, especially based off the jackets he has on offer already.
