A few quick photos of my 10 year old GW Bronco in russet horse (with OD stitching and a NOS Crown zip) for comparison purposes.

Nice...thx for sharing

It amazes me how 70+ yr old jackets can still be in such good condition. That's a real treasure!

Here's an original plain Jane Bronco, but a rare bird being one of the few goatskin Broncs I've come across. It has the typical collar twist seen on original Broncos, also the goatskin remains super soft and pliable.

ahhhhhh, the goat bronco. I've seen it in the flesh, so to speak, and its nicer then the pix show.

WOW! Mint and rare, good combination! @Grant

Congrats! Thx. for sharing this textbook Bronco... Is it really goat? anyway...
...Perfect by all means!
The collar twist is the thing which also confirms its legitimacy ... Again, Thx. for sharing!

 

[Silver Surfer]

aha! the chubby checker twist.

Interesting on the goat Bronco collar... my first GW Bronco is goat, and John apologized for the collar when he made it, but it looks to me like he nailed the pattern so closely that it duplicated that particular trait.

There is a thread..

What are you getting buried in?

I can’t really say but I don’t want to deny the pleasure of someone owning an original A2, and I can’t see taking one out of circulation forever, since the numbers diminish day by day. So I’m thinking a Good Wear Dubow 1755.
Mint!!

Almost like the old days when originals were all over the place.
