Pickups at a local militaria show this morning, CWU-45 is a 1980 Lancer, I believe the tour jacket is 70s or 80s? And the shelter half is 50s French Lizard. Shame its currently too hot to wear the CWU.

I want to see a fit pic with that shelter half/poncho

I’m taking a poll …. How many would like to see Mulceber and his GW Monarch on JCs website as a satisfied customer giving his testimonial for the GW Monarch A2 Contract ???
Are you reading this JC ?
This is one happy customer.
It would be good for business !

That's utterly gorgeous Nick and what a fit!!!!

BTW, which tartan is it mate?

Well….. it cooled off from 101F degrees
( 38.3 C ) on Friday to a cool 88F degrees (31.1 C) today . Just the ideal weather for a GW Acme with an original crown zip.
Somebody help me ….
I think I’m having a heat stroke !!

We had 30 yesterday, 31 today and it's going to be 32 tomorrow. Not bad for the Arctic

Nah... Testimonials are cheesy. Not like JC needs the endorsement anyway.

Jealous. I'd love to be able to break out the B-15 and enjoy that alpaca pile lining.

Oh hell yes. Something special about getting a repro made with leather from a tannery that supplied some of the originals.

Wearing the Avi M-422a this evening. I recently gave it a fairly thorough soaking in the shower, which has really helped the grain pop and the sleeves tunnel so that they're not so limp and droopy. Not something that I'd never attempt with a more expensive jacket, but I think it was worth the risk in this case.

I plan to patch the jacket with a VF(AW)-4 Nightcappers felt patch. I also have an original Talon zipper pull on the way from Dave Sheeley and G&F spec and size labels on the way from Steve Sellers (thanks for the recommendation Jan). This will hopefully tide me over until I can find a nice example of an original G1.

My new SM wholesale A-2 came. It was a frigid 105F when took the outside picture, so please ignore the tortured look on my face haha. The other is from inside my room

Have said it before and will say it again, that Monarch is sweet Jan
