Good Wear 1920's A1

mr_lits · Jul 8, 2015

I received my Good Wear 1920's A1 from John just yesterday. Amazing capeskin with great grain, honey gold knits and beautiful horn buttons. You will notice that the bottom two snaps have been replaced with buttons and only a single collar clasp at the neckline. But may favorite and most distinguishing feature is the scalloped pocket flap rather than the normally seen boxier ones. Fit and feel are great. John always does amazing work,well worth the wait time.

Now you're just rubbing it in man!
Only jacket I've seen that can compete with the original GW I had.
Enjoy. But no more posts!

very unique grain, the back panel is particularly wild

Stunning! You must be thrilled!

That's really lovely, nice colour leather and buttons match well. Not long had my BK A1 in seal Capeskin. Be interesting to compare. Congrats.

Not at all my style of jacket usually but damn thats nice, and great fit!

How long was the wait from when you put your deposit?

Doesn't do a lot for me but it is great to see a lighter hide to the almost ubiquitous FQHH.

Lovely jacket, nice subtle variation on the standard A-1. As far as 'ubiquitous FQHH', I would say that the lighter hides have become much more common.

I was about 18 months out for wait time.

That's a beautiful jacket! It looks 50 years old.. But in a good way.
What size is this if you don't mind?

Maybe I should have written almost ubiquitous. Love the lighter hides.
