You always make me laugh Mikey!

I hope you're going to go to that VLJ hook up we're thinking about for next year mate. Be great to finally catch up in person. You can even wear those bastard son of a cut off Ugg boot and run over by a bulldozer moccasin thingies you've got on there too ;-)

I certainly hope to be there if I can Smithy-now I’m not working shifts any more I should have more time available. Yes, be good to see you, and everyone. ‘Bastard son of a cut off Ugg boot and run over by a bulldozer’, love it.

Picture of the wear on the collar of my mid- to late-90s 1401.

RMNZ made one of the nicest Monarchs (and other jackets) Ive ever seen. I went to the NZ factory back in 2015 (?) before they closed and was hoping to grab one of these. By then they were in the hands of the Japanese and would no longer making custom jackets. I tried on a few other jackets, but all were on the small side. Such a shame.
Your wife has a gem there.

Would have loved to visit their factories. Hard to find now in large sizes, hope to find one of their Monarch in my size one day.

That’s a beautiful GW Werber ….

I remember surfing this forum years ago and wondering how was it possible for the jackets I saw then to have that wear and patina compared to my just arrived from factory jackets.

Now I now, it was just life...

Wait -- ELC-Buzz Rickson thread?

Wait -- ELC-Buzz Rickson thread?

Was thinking the same thing, but didn’t want to say anything. There is a good wear thread of this type a few pages back:

Show Us Your “Vintage” Good Wear Jackets.

Hey guys .... Unlike most of you who have work, a family or something daily going on in your lives, I’m retired and don’t have a life ;). Covid 19 has exacerbated this situation for me. So I get a lot of enjoyment out of reading the forum and checking out what you guys are doing and where...

No excuses for hijacking.

Sorry, I hadn't noticed Real McCoys was not in the list, I deleted it.

There's always room for another specific thread.

I know it perhaps wasn't the right place Jerome but I loved it, terrific jacket!

Doesn't "etc" cover everything else? Whatsoever?

Actually you make a pretty good point.

If I go back to my third form Latin et cetera means "and the rest".

Hard to argue against that if you're a hotshot lawyer.

The new chap has a point fellas

Aye, that makes sense for the RMC, but not so much for the Good Wear: when this thread was created, Burt had already made admiration threads for Good Wear and Aero, so it's rather clear that, by "etc." he meant "all the brands I haven't created threads for yet."

That GW Werber would certainly qualify for the "Show us your 'vintage' Good Wear jackets" thread:

Don't argue semantics Jan, it's bad form on a Friday ;-)

 

[mulceber]

Well, you mentioned lawyers, and when interpreting law, one of the first things you do is go back and look at the context in which the document was created.

Ahh yes, the old "do as I say..." defense.

 

[Pilotomutante]

Unaware of that thread at time of posting. I backup, posting moved where it really belongs.
