My JC's A2 after 6 months

[wop54]

I have received this jacket from JC last September and, so far, worn it (roughly) 80 days, sometimes under the rain. I like it very much, the color is getting better and better and it is developing a nice character. I receive many compliments and wear it as often as I can, also when I have to meet clients, with a nice shirt botton down (no tie), smart khaki trousers and brown belt and shoes (Allen Edmonds are my favourite). When I go to work in the morning my wife says: still in your uniform?
Here I am during a stroll in one of my town's city park with the wife and doggy.

Looking sharp Carlo, just more confirmation for me to get one in this hide sometime. Gee, your Wife is understanding, I get a lot worse from mine!

 

[Peter Graham]

Carlo. it is indeed developing very nice character. Wear it in good health.

Jacket looks fucking amazing!

Thanks all for kind comments!
It's definetely a Good Wear replica of the Rough Wear No 42-1401 P in the new russet HH

Very nice, Carlo. I especially like the contrast between the pocket flap (very wrinkly) and the pocket body (smooth). In another 6 months, no one will be able to tell that it's a repro!

Great looking jacket and perfect fit. Grain really pops.

I pretty much wear the same thing to work too everyday - khakis or dress pants w/ a button shirt and an A-2.

A beautiful fit and a really great look Carlo.

PS. Your ANJ4 is really breaking in well now and the horse hide sleeve facings are getting nice and grainy. Still wearing it in the early mornings as the dawn temperatures are only just above freezing here in the UK.

It's a perfect fit Carlo and the hh is wearing just like originals from this contract. Superb all round.

Thanks Cliff,
Im happy that "our" ANJ4 has found a new home and a loving wearer!
Here in Italy in a couple of weeks it will be too hot for an A2! Ill be in London for a couple of weeks in late may-early june and ill take one of my A2s with me... Upthere Ill have another chance to wear it, hopefully.
Thanks Peter, Andrew1, Andrew2, David, Marcel, Noel, Paddy, Van, Clyde and the others forum fellas for your kind and warm comments on my beloved GW!!

I think it could already pass for a well-preserved original. In that sense, it may be the best repro I've seen.

Carlo it looks fantastic!!! A real beauty.
