Not mine (sadly), but given the cooler weather will be coming down the road, I thought I'd post up this beauty.

Oh for God's sake - enough John, I can't take it!!!!!

That's just awesome!!!!!!

The quality of manufacture is so much higher than any original I've handled that it will make it easy to spot as a repro even after lots of wear !! (Not that many owners will give such a beautiful and expensive jacket the sort of wear originals got )

No doubting the man's skills, that's for sure. Though the hide seems a little more matt in finish than any I've ever seen.

I better go buy a lottery ticket

I reckon every single GW is magnitudes better than any of the originals.
My feeling is the assembly line makers are more like what the soldiers got. But I'll take the GW. I Didn't fight in WWII and I love that these jackets could be worn by my great-great-great grandchildren if they stay in the family that long.

Yes this is another fantastic jacket from the master craftsman. As far as the quality of this and his other jackets go they are often better than Wartime production line quality. However some of the Wartime makers produced jackets of extremely high quality using very experienced operators, whilst others did not. For example David D Doniger jackets are superbly crafted. I have seen really top quality jackets from most of the makers, but not consistently so even within the same contract.

Oops - sorry about that John. If I could get JC to cut me a check, I could be his employee :lol:

Apologies!

If I tried something like that, I'd be continually working off the debt incurred from buying jackets direct. Welcome to the company store!
