My GW after a couple of years of wear

I'm pretty sure it was the reddish Japanese Horsehide, I recall when Carlo first posted it here.

Nice work Carlo, looks great.

That's what I'm trying to figure out... That or light russet?

It's the red russet. John just started receiving the light russet recently.

I can confirm red russet (still have the emails between me and John)!

Could be mistaken for an original - wow! JC really is at the top of his game. Enjoy and wear it in good health! - Paddy.

In summer and winter the jacket sleeps in a dry, math-free wardrobe in its wooden hanger

I hate when those math guys get to things. Damn engineers. I wouldn't let any history or philosophy get to it either.

Forgive the Australianism, but JC ought to change his company name from 'Good Wear' to 'Absolutely bloody fantastic wear'. Now that looks the business. I bet its like a second skin for you Carlo, thanks for the photos. Best advertisment JC could ever ask for!

Carlo, we must have the same hide. Here is my favorite GW Dubow W535-ac-20960.

It started out like this when I got it from Alan

That looks fantastic!!! You should post some pics of the red russet 1401P if you still have it. That jacket had the best natural grain of any jacket I've seen to date.

Ok, I will do. It has even more grain and surface texture now than before. Tomorrow.

Here are the pics of the Goodwear red russet Roughwear 1401P. Great natural grain pattern horsehide.
