Hey All,
I've only been a member for a short period, but truly enjoy logging on and continuing to learn from everyone. Thank you. I really enjoy the history behind originals and how they were worn by such remarkable individuals. As a former US Marine Corps officer, I marvel and respect the character, dedication and selflessness of the WWII period era service people who original jackets were made for.
However, my focus at this point has been on repros. The latest I am awaiting delivery on is a Goodwear RW27752. I am hopeful it will arrive shortly. To say that Mr. Chapman and Ms. Vickie Erlandsen are great is understating the obvious once you've spoken with them. I'd really appreciate members posting up any pics of their GW RW27752 while I am counting the days
I related by email to Mr. Chapman a short story from lunch one day last year. My girlfriend and I sat down for lunch after a long day. As I took my sweet time folding my brand new GW DuBow 20960 at the table, my girlfriend quipped.."You'll probably kick the dog off the bed to make room for that jacket won't you?" I laughed inside and remained quiet because I thought, you know what, she's probably right
God Bless the troops. Come home safely.
