Cool morning so it’s a GW Roughwear 1401p

oof, Burt, that's a beauty. And honestly, if you'd told me that was an original you'd dug out of your closet, I would have believed you.

Love that Aero Nick, it looks from the photos to have the right drape and creasing.

Hey, I like to think we jacket collectors get some credit for keeping a weather eye out for these beauties and knowing quality when we see it (or so I like to tell myself).

Inspired enough to wear my BK RW23380 today. But not to bed I hasten to add. Just "outdoors".

Not good enough really is it?

As always an excellent jacket. Can I ask about wearing the mask. It looks as if you are not in the middle of a crowd etc.
Did you tick the no publicity lottery winner box or are you fearing a Covid attack from the photographer !

thanks gents. I believe a slightly lighter leather makes all the difference in the world. Most seem to be thick, or stiff due to vegetable tanning. A slightly thinner hide really makes a jacket drape well.

Gotta say I like that drape also..I also prefer slightly loose cut on an A2

Well I'm afraid I'm the photographer here and I was just about to go out hence the mask. To be honest it's the jacket that matters not my ugly mug !

It's interesting comparing the BK and GW versions of this contract. The BK is a much softer jacket and the leather in nice but I think the GW will beat it for character over the long haul. I can't quite work out how to wear both at the same time though. I'm sure Micawber suggested "layering up" to me as the best way to keep wear even between jackets
