My last A-2 (hopefully) - Good Wear

[ausreenactor]

Have a BR Switlik t-shirt. Wore it out....

Good to see they are still going strong.

WOW! That's my kind of April Fools Joke

We told a course of 15 trainees that one of the staff went COVID positive and they were all now close contacts and moving into isolation. Five got out of 11 days isolation the morning prior....

We laughed...they cried. Good times.

You can say no!

Sorry, I gave up believing in free will a long time ago

So this is a surprise. A few days ago, I got a call from John asking if I wanted a test jacket, a Switlik M-422 that was made of a new goatskin he's found from a leather produced in the old tanning town of Gloversville, NY. I get the feeling John is on a bit of Switlik kick right now, because between Brian's B-1 and this Navy jacket, he's made at least two in the last month. Anyway, I said "absolutely!" as I've thought the Switlik M-422 looked really cool ever since I participated in the "a better fighting garment" project. Anyway, the postman just dropped it off today!

Congrats Jan! That is really an amazingly stunning surprise. If you ever intend to part from it again please count me in/give me a heads-up. If you find some time it would be also great to share the measures of it. From the first takes it appears a jacket made for you!

I don't know much about USN jackets, I haven't done much digging. But to my uninitiated eyes, I can only say that this jacket is gorgeous !

That looks friggin awesome . Great fit !

 

[Brettafett]

Jeepers Jan, that is the the very best M-422 repro Ive ever seen! And the fit could not be better, if YOU were made for IT!
John really did something special here.
Now Im reconsidering an M-422 instead of that seal A-2...

 

[Brettafett]

Ha, caught the typo and fixed.

 

[B-Man2]

That’s ok deleted my post . It’s our secret and they’ll never know .

That’s it. Last one…
My new Bronco 1761 in Horween HH (pics sent by JC this morning)

 

[Bremspropeller]

That's a real looker!

 

[Brettafett]

Thats exactly what was on the top of my seal list! That and the 20960.
What prompted you to go for the 1761 over the 29191?

 

[Brettafett]

I have a early GW 29191 in goatskin. So I picked the 1761.
