Don't you have one of these on order Andrew? If so did you go with the lighter mouton?

I just like the looks of the W&G plus its kinda rare (originals are). I have a Goodwear Monarch 422 that I love and its much light in color so I wanted something different from that also. RMNZ and Eastman both make G&F 422a's or did. I think BKs G&F is more accurate than Eastmans version. On hte Eastman the back is wide like a modern G-1. The gap at the bi swing and shoulder seam is to wide on the Eastman as compared to most originals and I really didn't like Eastmans mouton. And the over exagerate the pocket flaps on the Eastman. (I've owned Eastmans version) so I just wanted something a bit different. It looks like either the W&G 422 or the G&F 422a would be a great choice.

Old 1920s & 1930s coats. You can find them in antique stores and on ebay and some have mouton that is like new. Old mouton is different than modern mouton and its the process in which it was made. I'm not a technician but it is different.

Yes I do Alan. I went for the darker mouton in the end. I'm now waiting to hear when it will be despatched.

News update for M422:
After few unsuccessful attempts finally the tannery managed to match the color of the mouton to an original sample taken from original W&G M422 provided by BK and BK has confirmed the color.
Another good tannery who is able to make production in 4 days failed to match the color so had to appoint the first tannery who needs couple of weeks to make production.
