What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

[Mr. Mike]

Also Mr.Mike, where do you go from here with A-2's?

Is this collection perfection and complete?

Well, that is a tricky one. No doubt this A-2 is a keeper for life. On the other hand, each Jacket John produces represents a unique piece of art and that has no ceiling ...

What's the maker of those striped pants?

BRONSON offers similar pants but without the cuff ...

You may source similar fabric from Japan, but not HBT weave.

Very well said Mr.Mike, I feel the same also.

You are some jackets ahead of me, but I start my journey this year with some orders!

That one’s aging beautifully, @Tattoo A2

Its Probably 20 years old Jan, this one is a large, so when I was in my fat Elvis period I wore my XL, but the newer ones dont seem to age the same anymore.

Nowhere near the photography skills of some of the other fine jackets posted lately, but here’s my own GW 27752 in Shinki.

 

[Astrofransisco]

Thanks so much @Kermit3D! The truth is that this jacket is indeed probably the best A-2 John build for me yet, whereat such superlative degree actually is fairly inappropriate knowing that all Jackets he build for me are perfect in every single aspect. This one just feels that undefinable knife point more right (can't figure it out myself). And it has tons of little details to be detected.
Here is another close-up from the office today:

From a certain perspective all jackets from John are tailor-made as he requests your exact measurements and preference (snug vs. relaxed etc.). With good endurance to take the waiting time in the production queue you just have to place your bets https://www.goodwearleather.com/pages/index.html

Not sure why, but I don't think that I've shared a single photo of this jacket during the year and a half that it's been in the collection.

My first GW arrived in the mail this morning. Werber 1402P. I'm instantly in love (even though I may not look like it in the pictures). I was slightly worried that it would be a little too small - I shouldn't have worried. It's bang on. Also, I cannot take pictures that do justice to the leather (seal brown Shinki). It's hard to describe how the colour shifts in the light.

John Chapman is a genius.

Shinki is the perfect skin and your A2 is perfect!
With JC you get what you pay for, it's a shame that you often spend much more on uninteresting jackets thinking you were getting a good deal!

One of Gary's finest, the old Eastman Werber. This jacket keeps getting better over the years.

I can't get over how beautifully worn all of your jackets, denim, and caps are Grant.

Thanks! I'm breaking in a pair of dead stock 1950's Big Mac overalls recently found in a resale shop. I can't get over how beautiful this old denim is.
