Congratulations. That jacket is absolutely gorgeous. Wear it often and enjoy. JC is a craftsman and I look forward to the day when it comes time for my jacket to be made.

They always say to go with your first choice. I thought seal would be a good color pick since my other A-2 is a russet brown color. Then the temptations started LOL. Thanks guys for the feedback on John's RW jackets. I will stay with the RW 27752 in seal. It's not like I'm going to be wearing it...

Like many of you, I am also on the list for a GW A-2 jacket. I took the plunge in February and contacted John to place the order. My choice was a RW 27752 in seal but other contracts are beginning to sway my decision. RW 1401-P, 1939 Werber, Dubow 20960 or a Doniger in goatskin. I told myself to...

Jorge, Thanks very much for sharing your photos. Congratulations on finding a beautiful A-2. Wow, size 36.The greatest generation seems to be much smaller in body size. .

Congratulations on your accomplishment. Well done! Best wishes on your future endeavors.

I love your watch..do you know if you can still find them? EDIT: I just found two of them on Ebay...........$475.00 and $495.00 NOS............They sure ain't cheap o_O B-Man2, My apologies for the late reply. Don’t buy off eBay because the prices are absolutely ridiculous. They are...

Congratulations. A very beautiful jacket and well worth the wait !

Thanks. There was a member on here (it might be Brettafett) who said the A-2 jackets feel like wearing a shirt when they break in. I didn’t understand at the time what he meant but now I do. The leather goes from being stiff to draping

Wearing my one and only A-2. ELC Monarch 23378. It is only two months old but breaking in nicely. I recently placed a deposit with John Chapman for one of his RW 27752 A-2 jackets so the addiction continues and the wait begins.

Stunning example. Congratulations ! Wear it often and enjoy.

Sorry guys I didn’t mean to go off topic. Here is a new release by one of my favorite artists, John Shaw. It is called “Safe Passage Home”

I took these photos in 1991 after the first Gulf War. This MIG-29 appeared at the air show at Alliance Airport in Fort Worth, Texas. It was a rare appearance in the US and my main reason for attending the show.

Cyril, from one new guy to another, Welcome ! Your collection of Navy jackets is amazing. Thanks for sharing your images. You have definitely come to the right place. Great bunch of people here.

Burt, That’s a beautiful A-2. I’m very sorry to hear about your knee. Best wishes to you for a speedy and complete recovery. Hang in there !

Very nice image I saw this one last month in Seattle Washington. The Constellation had style and is very elegant. What’s that saying “They don’t make them like that anymore “
