My last A-2 (hopefully) - Good Wear

I was under the impression that JC preshrinks the Victoria hides, but perhaps that is my personal delusion.
I have several jackets in Victoria and have not experienced any problems. I think I have worn all of them in the rain.

Yep, he does. I don't know about other makers though.

That's my understanding as well. The Victoria HH that I owned wasn't a GW. It shrunk approximately 1" in every measurement within approximately 1.5 years.

Not bashing in any way. I absolutely loved the jacket before I got fat and it shrunk...lol. This was it at the "too small" stage.

John I know your very busy but can you add anything to the questions raised or DM someone your thoughts so they could post it up?

Norshor is IMHO very near to the GW level … a few very minor details… ( zipper box arrangement pe.. and others but little.. ) and he his even!
Congrats!

Sadly, I hear that Mark has taken a break from jacket making. I hope it's only temporary.

Yeah he did or still does I mean on break, I inquired for an Aero project and he decline. I really liked his approach to pre-patinaed skin.

Ive mentioned this before, but Mark made a jacket for me years ago that was fantastic! Unfotumately, the capeskin in person was not nearly as nice as I thought it would be so it moved on. I guess my fault really. I would certainly order from him again.
