Fine looking jacket.

Agreed next size up would be to big , now beat the hell out of it and it will mold to your body .

Thats the Werber right? Looks good. Well done! And for a first A-2, you've done very well Sir

 

[ausreenactor]

They are pretty impressive. Better pics show the hide well.

Saint-Ex.. Bust that habit of clipping the ID on to the knit! Won't be long before you have a repair to do...

 

[Saint-ex]

Yes, that's the Werber.

My wife was not very excited about buying an A2 and even less ordered by internet in Pakistan, based on some pictures.
But she thought it was well done and gave an impression of quality.

@ausreenactor , It's an illusion, it's hanging on the pants.

The opinion of the 'other half' is a big factor on the frequency of purchases....

Tianna was not impressed with the Monarch when I eagerly unboxed it.... She rarely has anything negative to say about the buys? Comparing it to Grant's pic today, mine is 'drab' as Tianna indicated.

Agree with all of the above. Jacket looks good now wear it every chance you get and don’t baby it.

Looks awesome to me!

The lining seems kinda “orange” to me what I like

Which color did you choose?

 

[Saint-ex]

Trust me I will not baby it.
I wanted to put it in the washing machine but my wife told me not yet !

@Thomas Koehle , lining is the orange dull. In fact it's not a flashy orange. It's quite hard to see the real color on my pictures, especially the last one were the lining is over saturated.

I wore it again in my car this morning, windows open to break it.

I would keep it away from the washing machine. I did this to my first 5 star goatskin and it both shrank and stiffened up quite significantly.

I would take 3 tennisballs and do a couple of cycles in the dryer. That has worked wonders for me previously on all types of leather jackets.

 

[Saint-ex]

I thought about it but I do not have a dryer.
I'll go to the Self Laundry one night.

For the washing machine it was more for the joke but I already did it with my motorcycle set Dainese.
But ok, I take note that the idea is not right.

Looks good. As others have said wear the shit out of it. Two things that I find brilliant for breaking in and developing wear and grain on a jacket is to wear it in the rain and the second is to do manual labour in it, like carrying firewood, fixing the fence, doing work on the car/boat, etc.

 

[Cocker]

Looks mighty fine! Makes me consider getting one of those Werber in horsehide...

After 5 days wearing 1:30 hours driving and few hours under the rain today.

 

[B-Man2]

It’s getting there ....looks good

 

[Bombing IP]

Jacket looks GREAT certainly going to get some character . As been said before the worst a jacket looks is when you take it out of the box new !.
You must be very happy with it .

[Kennyz]

Really looking good. I like that seal and knit color combo as well.

Unreal improvements since the first jacket posted in this thread.
