Provided they hit my price...

If you want an appreciating asset, go buy Rolexes.
Leather needs to be worn to keep it supple.

And You are also stopping someone in the world wearing an A-2 which should be a capital offence !!

 

[ausreenactor]

Not at all. There are loads of A-2s out there... Grabbed a two month old Buzz Rickson A-2 the other night....

Shame DDs recent rants must have knocked the price of his jackets in half though

Not as much as s contracted/inferior product down the line might....

It ain’t an original - manufacturer is still in business and producing more of the same kind of jackets - i’d open it

and btw i’m also a bit with “seres”: are you sure the jacket is still in the pristine condition like when packed? Was the box stored in a dry place all the time? Any other damages maybe from longtime storage?

I think I understand that feeling leaving something untouched just with knowing i own it but do not need to use it right now but anyway it is still a repop - yeah not a cheapo but from a manufacturer with respectable reputation but still no original ...

And the manufacturer is no longer in business...

Time to move it on...

You have loads of jackets!!!! Sell it.

Its about that time. Have it here ready to put on eBay. If anyone wants some fresh pics let me know. In the box and packaging as shipped directly from Goodwear in Seattle by JC himself..

 

[CBI]

yes, take some pics and post - add a few measurements - you might have a taker(s) here..................

Hello CBI,

Look here, if I am not mistaken this is the jacket when on JC sale page...

I'm sure this is nothing like my new-in-box, factory sealed, original Apple iPod, but I'd like to see the jacket!

It'll be permanently wrinkled to shit now

Just joking, well half way anyway - at the museum we'd never store a jacket and especially leather folded if it wasn't on display. It would have acid free paper stuffed in the arms and then laid flat in a large enough box (acid free again) and with acid free paper bunched into it so the body didn't lie completely flat, hence avoiding folds and creases developing from the weight of the leather itself lying on itself for a long period.

Sorry Couchy but I'd pay less for a jacket which had been folded in its original packaging/shipping box for years than one which was correctly stored if it had to be in a box at all.

It's not like the NOS WW2 A-2s that Jorge pulls out of his time machine have been stuffed and babied with acid-free papers and boxes; yet, his NOS A-2s are just that, stunningly NOS and in perfect conditions regardless of folds.

Would love to see it, Capitane. @ausreenactor

At least check the pockets for cobwebs prior to shipping!

Or money.

Or a ticket stub…what’s this Couchy? “XXX?”

 

[leper-colony]

Bet it would fit me; I'm not afraid of creases.

The hide is that soft there wasn't a wrinkle after the five years in the bag..
