Neither are early Good Wears -- one sleeve is longer than the other on mine.
Now that is exciting! No chance that it is second hand, original owner? Could John have made a bespoke jacket for someone else?

Oh, it's second -hand, I'm the third owner. But it's more about John's learning curve than any custom-tailored jacket.
Now, it's not an inch shorter, like @Brettafett , but when you put a tape to it one is definitely shorter (or longer) than the other.

... I can beat that: My GW Dubow has uneven sleeves AND an uneven collar!

I'd like to see how a DD roughwear collar compares to a GW roughwear collar, seeing as we've named JC as the undisputed champion of roughwear collars

Star 42 Sleeve measures 25"R (24"+L), my 40 measured 25.5" both sleeves
Ive had an early GW with an uneven collar, a few ELCs with slight differences in sleeve length and a couple of other weird issues... And an Aero with different sleeve length.
Hand made stuff....

I bought this shirt in Pearl Harbor during my honey moon 4 years ago. How I love it so much too, during a visit to the USAF Museum in Dayton (OH), I came across a rack of the same shirt, I bought an other one in spare.
My work colleague who accompanied me had a good laugh and thought I was crazy.

Cool, I've been to USAF museum many times and have not seen such shirts in their shop, only all sorts of T-shirts and caps. You are lucky

Nooooooo! You had to post that didn't you. Now Im going to be vacillating between that and the Doniger again.
That is an incredible jacket.
I assume russet Italian? Mid brown knits?

There's no beating Rough Wears for style. It just epitomizes the A-2 jacket type.

Hmm. I haven't really checked the collar...
