Long time lurker, new member here. I’ve put down a deposit for a GW 1930s Cossack in goatskin, does anyone who recently received his jacket have an idea on the current wait time? Thanks

 

[CBI]

isn't it about 12 months at this point? It also might depend a bit on supplies for specific jackets that could add some time.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

I think the queue is probably somewhere between 12 to 18 months maybe more as his work is in demand. But universally I think everyone agrees the wait is worth it for the craftsmanship.

 

[CBI]

its amazing how quickly a year can go by!!!

 

[jchance]

12-18 months is nothing for a MTO jacket that is supposed to last a lifetime! I’m traveling in the next 4 months so the wait is not bad at all

A couple weeks ago I emailed JC if he would be interested in copying one of my original RW 1401-Ps. Yesterday He sent me some photos of the final test jacket which made in the new Italian russet HH tinted with a little yellow, brick cotton lining, mid-brown Japanese wool knits, mid-brown thread, vintage Crown zipper, vintage United-Carr pocket snaps. I will take more pics once I have both jackets back from him sometime next week.
Here are some photos taken by JC.
