I hadn't seen this photo before Grant and it's an absolute cracker, love it!

Hey Lorenzo,
A couple pics of the RW 1401p.

 

[B-Man2]

Grant.
Gorgeous....the mismatch grain of the hides are sweet! The fit on you is so nice...What size is that?

 

[Grant]

Thanks B-Man, it's a sz 42.

Hey Grant,

Thanks for posting those pictures. That is one sick jacket. Original. Miss-matched hides. In good condition. An original RW 1401P that's wearer! Where did you get it? Wear it in good health, man!

 

[Silver Surfer]

damn, thats purdy.

 

[Grant]

Thanks Lorenzo, it was an ebay find from a few years ago.

 

[Smithy]

Yeah it really is a beauty Grant and great condition for a jacket that's well over 70, the colour looks nicer than a lot of 1401P repros too, it's not that jarring caramel colour. Damn good fit too.

Strange how a thread can go off at a tangent !

I know Carl. But that original 1401P was well worth the detour, don't you think?

 

[Carl]

I do like an A2 , thats for sure

 

[Marv]

that's beauty Grant, and the fit is really great and just goes to show what we all now know, issued jackets were all over the place fit wise and not just super trim.

Nice RW Grant.
My wife and I are going to see the Memphis belle this weekend.

 

[Brettafett]

Grant, thats stunning! What a find... Now that may be worth $20,000 in my book
How does it compare to your ELC version?

 

[CBI]

Great RW Grant - looks amazing!

 

[Pilot]

Can only concur with all the compliments sent here...wow!

 

[jeremiah]

Grant, the zipper is wavy. Did you HWT that sucker?

 

[Grant]

Haha! Maybe the previous owner soaked the jacket sweating flying through flak.

Hey Brett, sorry just saw this. The fit is very close to my ELC 1401p.
