Rough Wear 18091 in goatskin

[bseal]

JC’s new goatskin from Pakistan. The best goatskin I’ve ever seen. Highly recommend!View attachment 97901View attachment 97903View attachment 97905View attachment 97907View attachment 97909View attachment 97911

To my eyes, from these images, it appears GW upgraded their knits too. Whoa.

 

[Brettafett]

I was going to say about the knits..
This looks incredible!

Man, I am so tempted to shoot an email to John right now and ask for an 18091 identical to the one he made for Zhi. No notes! Just a straight-up knock-out of a jacket.

 

[Brettafett]

I wouldn't blame you for a second. Its making me more excited about a Doniger in this goat.

However, I must wonder... Has Wz placed a long string of orders over the years that are actualising now?
This seams to have taken 6 months to turn a refurb, and a new jacket around.
Some of us have been in the queue for quite some time now and are still nowhere near having a jacket I hand.

It was a test jacket that JC made after finished restoring my original 18091.

Jan, this goatskin is just fantastic!

Unbelievable!!
That’s one of JCs best goats ever . I have an early GW Perry A2 in beautiful goat that John had made some years back.It was a dead on match for a Perry that I saw in the 8th Air Force Museum in Pooler Georgia near Savannah . This new batch is equal and in some ways better than that .

Would the moderators please consider renaming the title of this thread to “Sublime,” to either reflect our esteemed colleague’s drunken stupor or the new elite level of tact and scholarly refinement our beloved forum now sits at?

Sorry for the nonsense. Should have a beer limit when getting on here.

Both jackets are great, that GW what a knockout!

 

[blackrat2]

Haha..I knew that snip pic
the otherday was likely to be coming
your way…awesome new GW and great restoration…wear em in good health

 

[caddyd]

That certainly is a great match but ya cant beat the cool original rough ware of that original ole goat.

That makes total sense and very glad for it. Seeing your jackets has actually helped me a lot in the decision making process.
Your photos are also of very good quality, showing good lighting, so seeing the leather/ knit combos helps... keep em coming!

I must say it looks very stimulating to own and be able to post the original and the copy of the original sibe by side.

That is a fun post, thanks for sharing.

Like the scalloped flaps on the Perry also

 

[blackrat2]

The “Peter Pan “ collars on Perry’s are always nice
Do Perry run longer than most A2’s in length, I am aware the sleeves can run short on originals but is the body longer than other makers?

Not really … I’ve had an original Perry and there wasn’t any noticeable difference in the length of the Perry .
