Not a dickhead. I appreciate the input.

THX for your understanding Nick!

I see your bodyshape is on the more sporty side - at least you don't have that additional belly-tank that most of People like me when they get beyond the 50ies. Id rather be proud of it. On most of the piccies of WW2 those german pilots are shown in pretty trim garment and i'm pretty sure you could wear a slightly trimmer Version of that jacket without any Problems.

Absolutely NO CRITISISM coz i also have have my personal prefererences which i consequently try to follow but a friendly comment from one Enthusiast to the other.

After some pre-summer weather yesterday and another outing for my 37J1, it was back to cold weather gear today and the ELC G-1 fitted the bill nicely...

Thomas your up late tonight !,I gotta say that jacket looks great its breaking and holding its form nicely . You really got a nice piece of goat skin there , I have had many Cooper jackets some are like limp lettuce while others are really nice with some body to them with great grain . Shawn did you proud ,wear it like a tool and it will pay you back in character .

[jeremiah]

That’s goat??? Doesn’t look like goat to me. Could be the pics but the grain looks different to me than any goat I have ever handled.

 

[Bombing IP]

Yes I am pretty sure it is ,not all goat has a pebble grain . But let Thomas or Shawn answer see what they say .

BIP

 

[jeremiah]

Yeah. I have been wrong before and might be now, but never did see goat that looks like that. I have some with less pebble like grain. Big thing with goat is the pore structure. Very distinct.

I don’t know. Parts of the jacket do resemble goat. Others, maybe cow or horse. Either way. A splendid looking A2.

Since no one is interested in my ELC A2, I've decided to order new cuffs and knits.
