[Micawber]

So many creases, so many wrinkles, so much wear. Who'd have thought it possible....

Who’s the maker on this one?
Super nice by the way .

 

[dmar836]

Thanks. It’s my 4 yo DIY hybrid. A mashup of two Rough Wear patterns. I’d say it’s near time for another project!

Nice work, that beats the work of more than one "professional" who have posted on VLJ

and now for another contender..........this is the the very first (Non Beacon) Aero made 1981 (original price was £75) and worn regularly by the original owner until 2013 . That's when we bought it back for £650 It's been in our archive display cabiniet since the original owner wouldn't sell it to anyone else despite the fact that he'd put on a pound or four in the interim.

That was the first jacket I'd made after a 7 years break.

Doesn’t show the use in this shot but that ANJ3 again has been everywhere I need a jacket

Really like the knits on that one, nice contrast to the hide.

 

[Skip]

Thanks Burt, second set of knits on that, rib rack navy ones courtesy of Steve Sellers, and really good quality

My 1988 steerhide Sefton A-2. I've had an original and several other repro jackets but this one served me well and it's still my favorite jacket.

Really like the chocolate color on that. Is that the actual color or the lighting?

 

[jack31916]

Thanks B-Man2. That's just about the actual color. This is the russet version.

 

[Grant]

I've never seen a Sefton A-2 I haven't liked. Yours looks friggin killer!

I do like an aero when they wear like this ..Aeros in particular seem to do it on a few I’ve seen .. my ELC roughwear Eastman still squeaks and is plenty worn in and my GW could defo be referred to as a squeaker ...Art

That’s why it looks so good.

No wrinkles makes no sense
