Bill Kelso Roughwear 27752

[marck527]

My first accurate repro A2 has arrived from BK!

I placed an order from BK for a Roughwear 27752 size 42 (stock) in their Seal Liberty Horsehide early January this year and it finally arrived yesterday. The order took ~7 months from placing the order to being delivered to Australia.

I don’t have any experiences with any other accurate repros (only examined pictures of other makers and originals online) to compare but I’m extremely happy with the jacket. The fit, quality and details are amazing.

Attached some pictures below. For reference I’m 180cm and 79kg.

Another +1 to the comments above. Absolutely nailed the fit on that one. Now go change your user name to Cooler King.

I agree! The waist knit sits perfectly and there’s near zero tunneling at the wrists. I’d never be able to get there without tailoring.

congrats - it looks great and perfect fit - helps that you have the perfect build for it!!!!!!

Beautiful fit. Sleeves could stand to be a bit longer, but still a reasonable length. Wear it in good health!

I appreciate the kind words everyone .

Very happy with the fit. The BK order form was excellent with helping me get the fit just right. Pete from BK was also helpful with my sizing questions.

Looks really good. You got the McQueen look, right there.
What knit and thread colour did you order?

I understand BK will soon be offering the RW 18091, 16159 and 1401-P also.

Spot on!

 

[Silver Surfer]

I second that, spot on.

It’s stock BK RW 27752 so olive drab threads and wool brown knits.

Congrat and welcome to the addiction! Looks like you're rocking some nice denim as well!

Agreed. Missed that thread. Congratulations, great fit. What is the back length of the jacket?

 

[Alliance507]

That fit is epic. It definitely sent me down a BK rabbit hole
