Crossroads Blues....And Pics of My New GW A-1

[Atticus]

Standin' at the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
Whee-hee, I tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody seem to know me, everybody pass me by

Standin' at the crossroads, risin' sun goin' down
Standin' at the crossroads baby, the risin' sun goin' down
I believe to my soul now, po' Bob is sinkin' down....

Great pics. The jacket suits you. Now of course, all the members of the ' squadron ' will want one too.

These pictures should be on the Goodwear site. Wonderful!

 

[John Lever]

Is it from the same batch of leather as mine ?

 

[Falcon_52]

Awesome jacket! It looks like it was worth the wait. Enjoy!

You mean New Bern's geriatric bomb Squadron---the Sreamin' Limpdicks?

Yeah, nowdays we hafta maintain a lower airspeed than most of the whippersnapper squadrons, so we usually catch a little hell over the target....and our accuracy was better in our youth, so we tend to obliterate a few churches, hospitals and orphanages....

But what the hell? We're still...willin'!

Looks nice, but personally I'd want it at least one size smaller.

Not me - it's perfect. Extra tight might be OK for those still in their late teens and early 20s, and flying in confined cockpits, but in all honesty a little room to breathe means I'd use the jacket more.

I've just received my 27753 from John, an exact copy of an original that I sent to him. I had worn the original (which is as near mint as you can get, I'd say) sparingly for fear of doing any damage. Now, I've got essentially the eaxct same jacket that wants to be worn into the ground. And I'm the man to do it.

The jacket is the right size, it's the owner that's one size smaller.

All is revealed over on the black hat pages ....

Yeah, I've lost about twenty pounds since I got back from Milwaukee this summer. And it was before then that I sent John my measurements for the A-1. I guess I'm pretty much back to my normal, pre-phat-phase weight, now. I started to call John and tell him about the weight loss---he really didn't start on my jacket until the first week in October---but I decided against it. I figured that I would much rather have a jacket that will accept some variation in my weight. And its no secret that I like loose fitting jackets, anyhow.

WOW! You got yourself a winner there!

Jacket size looks perfect ... but even more so, the look of the leather is fantastic.

I'm already putting money away to get one for the spring when the weather gets nice again.

What type of 6 string's in the case? Have you been playing for some time?

Hi Donsom,

Thank you!

That's my old (1973) Gibson J-50. Yes, I've been playing for quite a few years, on and off.
