Nice jacket and fit. Looks good.

You have a great looking Dubow there. The new horsehide is pretty nice. I'm still waiting on some cooler weather to break in my Werber.

I mistakenly mentioned I was getting a Dubow in an earlier thread. Its what happens when I use copy and paste and incorrectly copy the wrong phrase. Here are some outdoor pics I quickly took just now.

I might be able to shed a little light on this jacket. I just picked it up from John this afternoon. It is brown with little reddish undertone. The fit was right on for me. I can further details later as I am currently riding the bus home right now. Also it has one change already. He sewed...

The waiting can be tough especially when you are on the final stretch. An email I received last week, indicated any day now my jacket should be finished. This is actually the worse for me knowing it's this close and waiting for the "come and pick it up". But during the wait, I had time to...

AB fedora with all my leather jackets.

Good Choice on the Werber. I placed an order last November for one, so hopefully my jacket will be coming soon. At least the weather around here in Seattle usually stays cool enough for a light jacket almost year around. With all the jackets GW has to offer and now the new Dubow pattern...

Very nice jacket. Looks great.

I went with the Werber after trying on several jackets of varying contracts at GW. It just fit the best and felt the most comfortable for me. If I remember correctly, the cut is practically the same as the 42 model, but the label lettering is a different color, and as you mentioned, the zipper...

I bought it over at the FL last week. I was considering a new military issue A-2 from Flighsuits until I came across this jacket. It was in the price range I was going for. I hope it takes to the water well and grains up a bit.

It's a 44R. After seeing so many beautiful jackets here, I just couldn't resist. Something to tide me over until I take delivery of the GW. This site has been great in learning about all the different contracts out there. This is my first experience with a Roughwear and feels pretty...

Good Day, While still waiting on my GW Werber, I was able to pick up an ELC Roughwear 1401 w/ NOS Talon zip for $300 slightly used (purchased 7 - 8 years ago). It's my first real higher end repro. My previous A-2's have been an Avirex and a US Authentic. This jacket is definitely lighter in...

Yes, I'm a member of the Lounge & COW. I haven't posted in either for quite some time, but do enjoy reading the posts and seeing pics when time allows.

I'll post pics up once I receive the jacket. I just wanted to give a thumbs up to John for his service. I have had several fedoras handmade and custom gun work, where I didn't hear anything for over a year which after sometime can lead one to wonder if everything is ok. It was just...

Greetings, This is my first posting here although I have been lurking around now for close to a year. I just wanted to thank everyone here for their posts and comments on the various repos out there. With the guidance of VLJ, I placed on order last November with GoodWear Leather for a 1939...
