OH PUTAIN !!! (sorry)
That's exactly what I want...

Unreal! Thought of the perfect answer to “why Good Wear?” They look the best.

You could go McQueen on that hide!

Put that into Google translate and you’d have my reaction.

I’m this close to asking JC to apply that combat clone effect to my 1755 on going

Go for it!

My 1755 should be made in the same Horween batch than @coolhandluke 's Bronco.

I'm torn between this amazing Combat Clone effect and a nice new leather to patinate

Combat Clone finish can shortcut in case you cannot wear your jacket often enough to beat hell out of it. If you can afford to abuse it yourself though then you gain patina and the respective story behind it together which is invaluable.

Beautiful!!!

Best Hilts jacket clone that I've ever seen.

 

[Saint-ex]

Fully agree with @coolhandluke . Even better than the real one.

I re watch the great escape last week, and the McQueen's jacket is not that nice !

That's my point.

That's my point.

Then I'd give it a try with CC ...

Wow wow, Mr. Mike. You're about to have a real gem on your hands. Stunning. The leather is beautiful, is that Italian?

100% agree. I shouldn't have used the term clone, as JC's is definitely much, much nicer. I originally contemplated going with this exact jacket, but changed my mind halfway through the waiting period. I'm calling dibs if this one ever gets re-sold!

Does anyone have pics of a combat clone in Horween? I honestly don't think that I've ever seen one.

 

[Skyranger]

To think that I gently made fun of my daughters when they bought industrially worn jeans at the knees...
Now I would do the same for this A-2 clone combat!

 

[CBI]

I am on the JC list for whenever??? this would be my preferred choice when the time comes.

 

[CBI]

I don't mind distressed jeans when they are done correctly, looking like real wear. Usually the higher end vintage options $$$$$$$$$$ I know, I know, develop your own fades!

That sounds like a return for "minor adjustment"
