My last A-2 (hopefully) - Good Wear

It looks like he's using the same/a similar pattern to my 27752 for this 18091. The collar definitely looks bigger than my 18091. Really cool effect.

Absolutely Jan, sort of tweaks the whole proportions of the jacket a little with the bigger collar doesn't it? In fact, if you look at the vintage photo I attached of a pilot in his 18091, the collar on this new pattern is damn close in size. JC mentioned he's reworking his 18091, this is a test sample, how many more tweaks he plans to make I'm not sure - but for me this is just Rough Wear perfection.

Now I look again, I think it's actually identical at this point. The pilots looks a little wider still only through wear and battle time. Give me some time and we'll see how this one evolves.

This one really demonstrates that RW collar proportion:

Spoken like a true A2 addict !!
Reminds me of myself every time I received one of JC’s master pieces .

Absolutely I have man, took me by complete surprise. Waiting patiently for the 27752 next year, never thought I'd strike luck like this in 2024. First A-2 jacket as well, not a bad way to kick off the collection is it?

Congrats!

A true beauty, @CK90. The new goatskin JC is using is simply superb - supple right out of the box and starts to break fast and nice. You'll love that jacket.

Awesome jacket from the master !

Let’s be honest, probably not going to be my last Goodwear! and given that we don’t need much prompting to post up images of Johns amazing work, I thought I would add to the thread some pictures from today.
For reference this jacket arrived end of September last year and has been worn most days since …this is a combat clone but has now started to get added wear from my use

That really is a cracking jacket Blackrat, nothing like seeing one of JC's creations, worn and loved out here in the wild.

What a nice jacket with awesome leather !

Thanks gents, @CK90 when are your jackets arriving?, I think you’ll love the goatskin
Have always struggled with RW collars but there are some stunning jackets on here where folks have “tamed” them

Just loving the goatskin you picked for this Dubow dude, so much character with the combat clone touch, truly looking like an original now with your added personal touch of wear.

I hear you on the collars, thing is the Rough Wear collars are a thing of beauty for me, honestly just love everything about them, especially when they’re tamed and splayed out a little.

Star has arrived a month or so back - pics soon cometh - and as of last check, Rough Wear is at Stansted on its way - let’s hope they don’t hold it up in customs for two weeks like they did with the Star…
