Cool chain and slider on that GW

Hope I'm not posting photos of this LW Foster again to soon, but I'm really enjoying the fit. Wearing the jacket has all but convinced me that I'd like to have an M-422 or AN-6552 from GW. I may have to drop an email to John and ask if he could please add me to the wait list in the event that a return/ sale jacket ever comes available in my size.

Ukraine shirt. Check.
Good Wear Indy. Check.

Ah, I remember John showing me the pictures of that jacket, Nick. I didn’t realize it was for you. Nice acquisition!

Received an LW Foster 7823 in the mail today from @jschare. I sure don't make an original G1 look as good as Jorge, but I'm pretty pleased with the fit.

Nobody looks as good as Jorge in a jacket!

While Europe and UK are melting from the heat, G-1 weather has suddenly come here, only + 17C and a pleasant breeze.

London hit 39C yesterday and 38 day before so I just stayed inside panting and going through some old photos came across this from 1989 Dday reunion, just after the rain that was usually encountered on these trips.... "somewhere" in Normandy. Original M422A and 0s chinos (no label, bakelite button fly so maybe '40s) and British or Canadian WW2 military canvas and leather shoes (the usual mix n match of the time, not everyone was bothered to perfect completely matching gear back then). And also this photo of my Bronco draped on the '43 WLC, hope they are of interest, still got a few boxes of old photos to go through so may come across more Dday shots if they're of interest.

This is probably the biggest collection of A2 jackets, how many do you have?

This afternoon, I received a package that I was really looking forward to. Inside: an original french cyclist jacket!
It is in excellent condition for its age. It's a bit too small for me but I knew it. No worries.
I'll do a full thread as soon as I have time.

Bonjour Kermit,

Gorgeous jacket, love the colour of the skin and that cut!

Good job.

Congrats, Kermit! I know you've been on the lookout for an original for a while now. Enjoy!

 

[B-Man2]

Love it Kermit!!.. I really love it!!

 

[Kermit3D]

Thanks for your kind messages.

Congrats, Kermit! I know you've been on the lookout for an original for a while now. Enjoy!

Yes ! I played hide and seek with this one...
This is my first real vintage jacket! I'm really happy.
It is wearable but it is tight and the sleeves are short. I'll be taking pictures on Friday. But I don't care, I'm having fun just looking at it.

I arrived here in September 2019. With the idea of buying my dream jacket... an ELC Hartmann jacket.
Here I am 2 years later with nearly 6 jackets...
