My last A-2 (hopefully) - Good Wear

[Smithy]

What are your pros and cons for those?

More pros than anything Greg. They're topping the running because seal, have collar stands, I love the collar shape on both as well as the flap shapes plus they both have the redder or orangeyer linings. That and I just like the way they seem to fit.

Bronco is now being harassed by a Dubow 23379. Bud Anderson's Dubow 23379 was a light seal and looks amazing.
And I know Dubows work for me....

Throw your deposit down and take your time to decide. It is all a hypothetical until you see it anyway.

 

[Smithy]

How's everybody sitting for their orders?

Changed your minds on your contracts again guys?

For me, I have to say the 27752 is still top of the heap.

I’m still on the Monarch train, although that 1401-P is looking real nice…as Brett put it when we were chatting, it all comes down to a simple question: Jimmy Stewart or Chuck Yeager.

Throw down another deposit! Zero hassles...

Im currently on a RW1401 or Monarch - russet
Dubow 23379 or Bronco - seal
Its been fun thus far comparing some pics and details... Then one remembers its 14 months to 2 years away.

Still between an Aero 16160 and a Dubow 18755, both in seal.

What size do you take? I have a virtually unused GW Monarch available in 44

(for everyone else's benefit, I talked to Brian via private message, and his GW Monarch is just a little too big for me. Anyone else in the market for a Monarch in 44 should explore this though.)

It's actually damn tempting. Once you've taken the plunge on the GW list and started going through the contracts and options, that little "naughty fella" starts whispering in your ear and saying, "Just do it buddy, where's the harm in it" ;-)

I’ve got a closet full of leather jackets, but the A-2’s I have are Coopers. I really like the Goodyear Acme 42-18775. Everything about it; the shade, the russet knits, the mustard lining, just everything. Does anybody have that one they’d be willing to post pics of?

 

[B-Man2]

Not trying to be a smart ass but you do mean a Good Wear right?

Well fancy that, I've just posted a 44" GW Acme for sale in the buy and sell bit.

Guy walks into an Italian restaurant, and after being taken to a table, asks for a menu.
Waiter says: sorry no menu.
Guy says: what have you got today?
Waiter says: today we have spaghetti with meat balls and a green salad.
Guy says: I'll have spaghetti with meat balls and a green salad.
Waiter says: good choice

D’oh! Stupid rookie mistake. Or maybe it was autocorrect.

No you’re good … stupid mistake on my part … it was obvious what you meant .
Sorry .

Months of umming and aaahing would do my head in....

 

[Smithy]

How we looking boys? Still the same contracts or have you gone wacky and completely changed things up?

Me personally, I'm as boring as a piece of plain wallpaper in a shitty $10 motel, so in other words I haven't changed at all.

Top of the heap: 27752
Next cab on the rank: 16160

Can't say I'm any more interesting: still sitting at first choice Monarch A-2, second choice (second jacket?) Rough Wear 1401-P, ideally a relaxed fit for maximal blousing.

I think it's looking like there's one of two of us who are just going to be sitting out the GW wait just twiddling our thumbs, you and me being prime starters for that
