Christmas came a little early this year!!!

[C.J.]

Just got my package from Mr. Chapman and I honestly don't even know where to begin. This thing is just freaky. I ended up going with a 27753 in seal HH. The grain, the color, the shape, the difference in hide consistency, the tags, the knits and all the tiny little details........ It's without doubt the nicest A-2 I've ever seen. It actually looks like the jackets I see in the pictures from WWII. I've owned a few A-2's so far, but Good Wear is just in a league of it's own. You just can't appreciate the difference between a GW and the others until you have one wrapped around you.

I know you guys hate these threads without pictures, but my wife is out and has the camera. I was going to wait until I had a few shots to post, but if I didn't tell someone about this, I was going to burst.

Thanks again, John. You are the master. And, thanks to everyone else for all the help and great advice.

Congratulations, the wonderful thing is it'll only get better with age. Enjoy!

And you got it a day early no less. Nothing better than an early Christmas present. Can't wait to see the pics.
