Mikey,
Great looking combo! Your B-2 Cap is a low profile like mine. Is it an Eastman as well?

It’s a bit chilly so I’m taking advantage of the chill with a new Goldsmith from Headwind.View attachment 28214

Is it just me, or does that collar look like it belongs to Count Dracula? No offense Burt... just saying. Looks great otherwise. And nice fit too!It’s a bit chilly so I’m taking advantage of the chill with a new Goldsmith from Headwind.

Thanks guys
The collar on this pattern sets up high on the back of your neck, but with time and wear it will settle down and relax. Also there are no snaps to keep the collar fastened down so it just flares out like a shirt collar. Gotta wear it in the rain a bit and let it settle down .

Yes it should lay down better once it gets worked in. Goldsmith pictures all show a bigger collar than all other A-2's. Also a higher collar stand.
Goldsmith in the center.
Sure I could ignore the details and make it more fashionable, but I make reproduction jackets, not fashion jackets.

For those of you who might be on the fence about buying one of these, I would be happy to wear this for a while and when it relaxes a bit post additional photos . I think you’ll be happy with the results and take the plunge.

Finally!!
I have reached the point where I can no longer ignore the sloppy fitted waistband of my FS Doniger. I have soaked it hot, hoped for some shrinking, but without any success.
Plan is to get some MASH knits and get the FS knits replaced. Hopefully, this will add some "fit" to the waist area and make the jacket less saggy....

This can be done without knitting replacement (if you are satisfied with the quality and color of your knits of course), but using those that you have, knits could be shorten them by your tailor.

Excellent jacket and fit, Burt. Bravo Jay!
