GW Werber (still!). The russet undertones really do pop in the sun.

Every time I see your picture you remind me so much of my brother. It’s uncanny. Except his beard is bigger

Beard goes along with the weather, had it like ZZ top for a while but it kept getting stuck on the coat zipper, lol

I hear ya. I usually grow one for the winter. But my brother has been full zz top his whole adult life. Years ago he had an MGA and had to strap down his beard to drive it. It would flip up and couldn’t see a thing

Shanghai, I have to ask, are you joking or are you actually sipping half an oz. of vodka?

It is a joke, which I learned from a famous soviet espionage movie,
it is, Others always focus what you have said on the last half sentence .

Good evening my friend! I received the jacket (M-422A Mexican goatskin) today, thanks for the note. It got here quickly. Unfortunately it is a bit too big. I boxed it up and am sending it back to JC. At least I got an up close look at the goatskin and JC’s superior workmanship. I’ve already told him I’ll be buying another one soon that is my size and hopefully a Star Sportswear A-2 in the near future. I’ll post some pics of the jacket. Good talking with you my friend and thanks again!

GW Mexican goatskin M-422A from “entertainment.“ A bit too big. Hoping to get a size 40 soon. Great workmanship from JC though. First one I’ve gotten an up close look at.

ELC M-422A. This is a much better fit.

Honestly, both of those are too long for you - especially the GW, but really the Eastman is as well. A good flight jacket fit should be just a little below your belt loops.

Really? I always thought that the Naval jackets were supposed to fit at that length. I know that A-2s are made with a shorter torso because of the uniform pants being made so high waisted back in the 30s and 40s. Great! Now I gotta buy more M422As!! HA!

 

[mulceber]

Actually, looking again, the Eastman isn't too bad. Maybe it's just next to the GW it looks long. Also the slightly upward-looking angle makes that G&F repro look especially long. So, I retract my previous statement. Definitely worth buying more Navy jackets though.

The Eastman looks really good in the shoulders and sleeve, so no worries!
