Had a chance to see this jacket first hand. A really nice jacket that I would have purchased except for running out of my "jacket allowance" for the next few months and having similar at home that already aren't getting enough wear. I haven't come across that many 46's...which is my size. Fit...

If you are one of the lucky/cursed ones that is the same size as John, buy a new GW "prototype" from the GW site's "Sale" page when they pop up. Patience does have it's virtues. For me, it's been better bet to play it up front with a deposit than hope for a market change. There is a lesson...

FWIW.... Ordered approx. 18 months ago, my GW cost me the same as what BK is selling a new A2 with "VH" leather today. If only I could do as well with the stock market. :lol:

Hey Steve. This is the BK I showed you a few months ago.

The BK jacket was the end result of my returning a prior BK jacket whose fit I was not happy with. I'll keep this one and likely either shorten the sleeves or see if one of my sons would like it. The measurements of the jackets are; GW; Sleeves- 25 1/2". Back length- 25". Shoulder...

Now you sound like my wife. :lol:

Very very nice. I'm glad that "standard size" A2's tend to be a bit off on me. :lol:

The BK has a "boxier" fit. Leather is a bit heavier. I used the same sleeve measurements on both jackets. The BK's will have to be shortened a fair amount. I ordered the dark purple knits for both jackets. The BK's knits are much redder...more in line with the red knits on my GW Aero. Here is...

The BK;

About 6 months ago I received a new BK Dubow 1755, seal "VIctory Horse" leather, dark purple knits. Last week I received a new GW Dubow 1755, made with the new seal cowhide John has in, purple knits. Both jackets were "custom made", same measurements. Here are some photos. The GW first;

BTW, where did you get your hat?
