Bee's wax helps zippers, too.

Right now, I am sitting in a theater waiting for the new Avatar movie, in my ATF tanker jacket.

At the risk of being pelted with tomatoes, eggnog and spent .50 cal rounds, I recently acquired this Baracuta G-9 Harrington.
This is the 'Classic' version. Its a size 40 and fits beautifully.

Theres the Archive and Signature (trim) versions also.
Tried all. Archive and Classic size 40 fit nicely, Signature I needed 42, but is a bit long

Thats flash!

That OCD malarkey is a bugger. Life is really too short.

I have CDO. Its like OCD, but the letters of the acronym are in the correct, alphabetical order.

Really cool ! If you decide to make cyclist jackets to sell, I'll be your first customer (provided you use other zippers )

I think it’s what we used to call being “picky”

I completed a teaching course about 4 years ago(thought I might want to teach at the college for a while) and after completing the section on learning disabilities I came to the conclusion that everyone I knew, worked with, including myself had some form of learning disability. Go figure

Probably no more than a tease, but it's a start:

1939 Werber

Got my 1939 Werber Goodwear A2 last month, will post fit pics soon, but it's a great fitting jacket. John hand tinted the leather and it's a newer veg tan Italian horsehide he has now. It's great stuff

This is an amazing jacket Jan ! Have you noticed any evolution (patina, grain, wrinkles, ...) as you wear it ?

I got an email from John Chapman, the manufacture of my B-6 is imminent!
Based on John's recommendations, I chose the same sheepskin as your B-6. According to John, it's a fabulous sheepskin for a B-6, very similar to the original jackets he handled (and also very soft/comfortable).
So this will be the Arnoff contract with a Conmar NOS zipper. I've also asked that the horsehide seam reinforcements be quite dark (as often seen on the originals)... but that's a matter of taste.

I can't wait !!!

 

[mulceber]

Fantastic news, Kermit! I can't wait to see the pictures!

I think the outer surface has developed a few more wrinkles and developed a bit of character, but tbh, I wear it infrequently enough that it's still basically new - which is ok by me, since as far as I'm concerned, it was perfect out of the box.

Beautiful jacket! Boy I don't envy you that hideous weather- the gray- the cold- the snow- I'm glad I've been in California for 40+ years. I whine when it's 40 degrees- and when it's over 75 degrees.

Original Willis and Geiger M-422A old and worn but still hangin in there along with me.

Such wonderful, warm tones on that jacket.

Exactly. Wear the 'ef out of that stuff and enjoy every damn minute.
