The jacket was made by the man on right side, which is John from Goodwear.

Both jackets are Goodwear Leather, but the man on the left is member Bretron. John Chapman is the one on the right, and yes he made both jackets.

Bretron is much younger than I thought...

I got a baby face, but the heart of a crotchety old man!

And as for my vote; I second Jeff

GW Monarch (it''s coincidently the jacket I was wearing in the above pic as well as below)

If I was going for a GW, I'd go for a Monarch. If it was off the rack, Aero 38-1711-P, seal with rust knits.

Rainbow Country A-2s. Love those colour. Although GW is the "holy grail" over here, I have decided to go with the Japanese ones. I have bought a few Western makers' jackets from Aero, BK, LW. They simply do not fit very well. I understand that they do customisation but that's to a degree. I am talking about scaling down the whole thing in stead of just shortening the jacket, sleeves etc. The armhole, sleeves width all have to be, as Justhandguns said, tweaked to fit the Asians i.e. me.
