New to me RW, no’s United Carr snaps, an amazing Shinki HH with some nice grain and wrinkles..it has the finish of an original, not shiny or sprayed but like some of the recent posts on the what your wearing section
John fitted the Crown zipper which is an original puller and stopper, it’s the same zipper he stumbled across on the original RW he has on his sale page
The guy just gets everything right time and time again there isn’t much more you can say about him and his jackets

Nice selection and thank you for posting. The Horween HH on the Monarch is amazing, have you coated it recently or its natural? If you have time can you post more images of it. And the quality of you set-up is appreciated, sunlight is the best.

Thank you.

Thanks Dany. It's a Combat Clone, I was told by JC that these hides from Horween were in a very light tan shade. He dyed it to russet through an initial dye and then pigmented over that dye.

Nick, that's a really spectacular jacket. Congrats on that acquisition. I love the look of that Shinki.

Sure would have a tough time picking one of these out for a given day. What a collection of GW classics! In particular, that Monarch looks really special to me because of the seal color and graining. Love to see some wearing pics.

Ah man that is a very nice touch! I like it more now, JC did share some images of his re dye work with me and I found it impressive. In fact my next A-2 will be a re dye job.

Again nice collection.

Jesus H Christ! I’ve done died and gone to jacket heaven. Thank you for sharing that! You really do spoil us! And, with every passing day, you make it harder and harder to choose a leather for our GWs!
