So the time has come to pick the hide color for my GW 20960 pattern jacket. John sent me a test jacket for size and a 46 fits just right. The big decision is what color horsehide finish to go with! The three I am pondering are in no order, Seal brown (not the dark seal) dull russet and the reddish russet, all aniline vegetable tanned. Wondering how they each look after wear and which might be truer to the year and pattern. Anyone who has a GW jacket with these finishes please give me your opinion and or advise. I think I have finally come to the end of my search for the perfect reproduction A-2, it has been a long journey.
