I wish we could convince him to return to the community, either as a vendor or a member. Seems like he’s a good guy.

Wish we could Jan.

Before your time here, but he got right, royally fucked over by some senior members here. Those involved should have had the guts and strength of character to apologise to him.

They didn't which was bloody bad form and Jon was never seen again. They really fucked him and it deserved an apology from those who did it.

Johhnyboy, the Aces High jacket maker and Andrew Sawtland were not the same folks I think. Yep, the forum could get pretty ugly back then, I hated it sometimes. Surprised I didn't un-member myself years ago.

No, not the same individual at all. Both are very knowledgeable in certain areas. The ability to handle knowledge with good grace is a blessing not gifted to all.

This place was not at all good humoured at times, did well to stick it John, I did not.

Is anyone still in contact with Jon Wainwright?
I wonder what he’s doing today ?
Sincerely wish that he had a desire to go back into building Irvin’s. I would most certainly be a customer for one .

I was in contact with him a while ago.
He is doing some art work… Totally out of the repro jacket world.
