Worn Rough Wear Looks Like GW

[ZuZu]

While some worn original Rough Wears have the tripartite collar line I discussed in my previous post- most seem not to when photographed on a person. GW copies the Ideal RW collar line which is seen in many original photos.

3 part collar line:

And the much more common smooth collar line as seen on GWs:

a famous jacket:

So- I didn't mean the last posted thread as a criticism- more of an observation.

the GW collar line is correct and ideal:

Wow! Seeing the original and the GW copy side-by-side, it can't be clearer how well the copy reflects the original...

Incredibly, truly incredibly close. The most subtle of those Rough Wear lines are identical.

20 years from now who’s going to be able to tell the difference between a GW repro and an original ?

If my ELC 1401 had looked as excellent as that it would still be on my back from time to time, as said here many times the collar was almost clownish by comparison!
