I've been absent from the forum for a long time, just happened to pass by and saw the other thread. Didn't bother to check that there was this specific post for GW vintage. Happy to contribute and no pun taken.

Sorry about that, let's try again:

Unaware of that thread at time of posting. I backup, posting moved where it really belongs.

GW early Werber contract, with me since new, now I can say it has developed into serious leather porno.

Doesn't "etc" cover everything else? Whatsoever?

I remember surfing this forum years ago and wondering how was it possible for the jackets I saw then to have that wear and patina compared to my just arrived from factory jackets. Now I now, it was just life...

It certainly is by far the best thing you can do with the news around here. Thank you! That is correct, the unequal finished remained in the pockets. Thing is it does not trouble me too much and I think that with time and some use they will fade away. They are also evident on the back of the...

Dull purple would be awesome, but just awnsering your question: Light brown

Jadeeeee!!!!!!

Must be made of the skin of some chick named "Calf´s " own baby. Sorry for the bad taste, I just couldn´t refrain :oops:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us I´ve got the exact same jacket, which has logged thousands of flight time over the Atlantic by now!!! Oddly it´s a size 44R and fits like a 40-42, which is more my size. Great jacket for indoors or hot weather. By the way; where can I find replacement buttons for...
