[767fo]

You know John's brand is gaining ground when somebody from the Czech Republic try's to pass off one of their jackets as his.

I just now was going to post this . Does not really look like a Goodwear.

It's a Good Wear label?

What if it is a real GW? Don't email the seller and tell him it something different There is a bid on it and we can open another can of worms..

Pocket and collar snaps are wrong for a start. Definitely not a JC.

Someone's being a cheeky devil!

Not a very good one at that

A Kelso for that price is still pretty good value?

If it is a Kelso my last comment was not meant to offend. I think they make very nice jackets for the money.

As long as the person buying it knows it's a BK and isn't expecting a GW.

Those that do know will not be bidding over the $500 mark so it should be fine. It is only when the ill informed duke it out...
With the $600 BIN ignored for so long it would be unlikely anybody tops that..

Then no need to advertise it as a Good Wear.

Perhaps he does not know ?
Is everyone as intelligent as the folks on this site who can spot all the differences throughout the bands of A2 quality from a mall A2 to Aero and then Eastman / Kelso to Goodwear ?
And I haven't even mentioned Buzz and the Few and McCoys ..
Perhaps not !!

May not.
Good reason to contact the seller and direct him here/to the Good Wear site.
