Just got my package from Mr. Chapman and I honestly don't even know where to begin. This thing is just freaky. I ended up going with a 27753 in seal HH. The grain, the color, the shape, the difference in hide consistency, the tags, the knits and all the tiny little details........ It's without doubt the nicest A-2 I've ever seen. It actually looks like the jackets I see in the pictures from WWII. I've owned a few A-2's so far, but Good Wear is just in a league of it's own. You just can't appreciate the difference between a GW and the others until you have one wrapped around you.
I know you guys hate these threads without pictures, but my wife is out and has the camera. I was going to wait until I had a few shots to post, but if I didn't tell someone about this, I was going to burst.
Thanks again, John. You are the master. And, thanks to everyone else for all the help and great advice.
