New Good Wear Werber 1402 and Dubow 20960 photos!

[watchmanjimg]

Over the past week I had the good fortune to acquire this incredible Good Wear Werber 1402 from JC's sale page. It's in a russet cowhide of substantial weight but with a relatively soft hand and amazing drape, which affords the most comfortable fit I've encountered in an A-2 thus far. The grain is ridiculous! Here are a few quick photos of the jacket with original WW2 khakis and A-3 mechanic's cap. Service shoes are reproduction ATF Type IIs:



While were at it at I had Laura snap off a few of the Dubow 20960 JC made me a few months back:



As you can imagine, I'm really pleased with the new Werber. I welcome any comments.

Great jacket and great Contract. I now prefer cowhide and goat jackets over horsehide.

All looks great with the bamboo in the background, like a period photo in China.

Thanks, Vince! JC has been doing some great work with cowhide lately and I've become a big fan.

Thanks, Sean! That's the look I was going for. I caught a little flak for the A-3 cap as opposed to a crusher or overseas type, but I thought it went well with the khakis for a CBI-influenced impression.

Thanks! I love both but the Werber is really special with its abundant grain and easy fit.

Vegetable tan horse seems to shrink much more than any other leather

Thanks, Van! The road to A-2 happiness has been a long one, but I'm pretty satisfied with these two.

They look great! I never took much notice of the Werber pattern, but once I tried one I have to admit it's a fantastic jacket.

Very nice, colour on both is fantastic, not to mention the fit, both fit perfectly.

The Dubow 20960 is a lovely patter, with some really nice details. And the Werber is always a nice easy patter to wear.

Hope you're happy with them both. They look superb

The photo work is excellent too! How did you "age" this photograph? Is there a filter in Photoshop I don't know about, and need to get?

Glad you like the photos as the ones I take usually fall well short of the mark! My girlfriend did these with an iPhone/iPad combination. I believe she transferred the pics from the phone to the tablet and retouched them.
