It's the nature of this daft pastime of ours-you want something, you get it, you love it, then you live with it for a while and you find you don't love it as much as you thought. Then you see something else you want, so you sell the first one to pay for that-and the cycle continues. It's what we do.

Exactly my case.Swing said:
Times are indeed hard for many of us, also as happened with Eastman in their early days, everyone wanted a jacket which increased as the hype (not used insultingly), 'must have' and excitement escalated. Gary had long waiting times back then too, maybe as things settle down John will get his waiting times down and some purchasers will take longer to consider their purchases (maker, size, etc) and choose a 'keeper'. I must say I would never have sold my GW Doni if my illness hadn't thrown my weight into a mess.

I agree with most of the comments made here about GW jackets--I cannot imagine letting go of mine. I'd like to add to my GW list with an A-1, in fact, if someone out there is thinking about getting rid of theirs. I wear a size 44, Dubow A-2 from GW. Although, I wouldn't sneer at an Aero or an ELC A-1.

Forgive if I'm wrong but didn't you post on a previous version of this forum that you were so very disappointed with your GW that you were done with A-2's all together ?(thhis after your wife or relative made a comment of the bad fit a scruffy look of the jacket) I believe you also said that your Aero real deal was your favorite.

Re my GOODWEAR LEATHER A2 18091 46" RUSSET GOAT ,I was hoping it would stretch a little across the pit to pit but in fact did not about an inch short .I did not want to use water on it to stretch it out because there were three ace signatures inside and they would probably bleed down the lining .The jacket was bought from John directly as one of his personal jackets and was not made specifically for me .I put it up on ebay to get money to buy Cjs goodwear jacket as it turned out he sold it to someone else and and I lost money and the jacket .Should of soaked the hell out of the jacket and kept it .That my story on why I had a jacket from goodwear and sold it .
All the best Jeff - minus goodwear A-2

If you follow the hot water treatment guidelines provided by John "Buzzthetower" GoodWear Chapman, the inside doesn't get wet: you just soak the leather from the outside with hooooot water, then knead the hell out of the leather (be careful about the area around the pockets - more to follow on that one). Or: wet it and wear it till dry: the inside stays dry

But that will mainly depend on the kind of ink used! some inks can easily run when wet. Therefore: HWT your jackets without wetting the inside, would be the safer bet.CBI said:
