BK's Willis and Geiger M422-an excellent jacket!

[Roughwear]

Hi Gents,

Why do you choose this contract instead of the G&F?

DT

Because I have a very nice original G&F M422A!

Andrew, the jacket looks great. Question though. It appears to be a tad on the large size. Would you (have you) ever done the HWT on a jacket, and would you consider doing that here to shrink it a little? Also, did you opt for the lighter mouton? I seem to recall we discussed this a while back and you favored the darker (as-new) brown color?

Congrats. Glad they're finally reaching customers before the fall season.

I like a slightly larger size in a naval jacket Scott. Not sure about hwt. Lets see how it breaks in.

I thought the fit looked right on and comfortable. The only thing I noticed on two two BK jackets with wearing pics here is the knit looked loose. They look the like very nice knits but with very little tension.

That's what got my attention too. I'm sensitive to it as I have a wider shoulder and smaller waist now. Shirts, jackets, etc. the cheapo G-1's I've had I liked as they didn't have that issue. Cheapo in the relative sense.

congrats looks great. I really like my BK W&G m422 and I took it over the G&F M422a because its a pretty rare jacket and I like the symmetrical pockets. I really like mine and gald you like yours to and I agree that it is very very well made.

 

[Roughwear]

Thanks Alan. I bought mine for the same reasons.

I like a slightly larger size in a naval jacket Scott.

Why is that, as there is so much more flexibility and movement in a Navy jacket compared to an A-2 ?

Bifold back gives you more play at the shoulders.

 

[Roughwear]

This is certainly the case with this one.

I think that's why Peter asked. A jacket with bi-swing back often allows one to size down.
I've thought that some of this model from BK appear on the large side for the wearers. Just my observation. Maybe that's not what Peter meant...

 

[Roughwear]

I see what you mean Scott.

 

[Peter Graham]

You're correct. That is what I meant.

What happened, did you sell your original G&F? Did you not even have an original G&F. Dementia setting in?

 

[Roughwear]

I have a very nice original G&F M422A, but not an original W&G M422.

 

[Stony]

I thought the only W&G M-422 contract was the S-74892. Has another been discovered?

Thanks!
