GW Modoc

Man, I'm really really digging the 40s/50s vibe and details of this one

Anyone slapped down a deposit on one yet??

If I didn't have a Ventura...very similar, and both beautiful.

 

[Peter Graham]

Beautiful, but the zipper not running to the bottom looks wrong. I know it's authentic, but it looks wrong.

 

[devilish]

I like that the zipper doesn't go all the way to the bottom. It adds a little 'give' like leaving the bottom button on a vest undone. As well as being period correct.

Wow- possibly my next GW order!

 

[dujardin]

I think it makes perfect sense. Lots of folks want repop vintage jackets, but hate the mil repops. Some just hate knits. Whatever the reason, nobody is making a better jacket than JC right now. I hope he decides to make more - they are stunning.

I've just put an order in for one of these and I'll liaise with John over the coming months to settle on the specifications.

I prefer lighter weight jackets (I'm not a fan of heavy steer or heavy horsehide) and generally prefer a well pebbled goat or lighter weight horsehide that will show some wear. I'd prefer a darker jacket (not black) so it's likely to be a very dark russet or a seal.

I don't like tartan (or strong thread contrasts), so it'll be a more subdued lining.

Does anybody have any experience with this jacket to offer advice on colour/hide combinations?

Thanks

Looks like dark seal Vincenza,beautiful jacket. I agree with Scott and don't like knits much.

 

[Dr H]

Thanks John, how does Vincenza compare with Shinki (from somebody who knows little about horsehide)?

Great jacket!

If it's Vincenza, I have some here for you to see, Denny Calder sent me some.

 

[Dr H]

Thanks John, I'll take you up on that - I need to get a feel for the weight of it versus goat.
