All his A2 fits me well, I just don't know what "wartime sewing" mean...

From the ad it sounds like it means done swiftly and with less precision, to replicate the quick work of 1940's machinists.

Maybe it’s Johns way of clearing the back log?

Might mean some intentional sloppy stitching in some places I suppose.

Yes, means. In the age of smartphone using I still should pay more attention to grammar & spelling...

I too wondered the meaning of sloppy? Like the jacket though. One day I'll buy a sale A2.

I knew what he meant by mean and the means were mean means.

You know, I've starting to develop repetitive motion syndrome on the right hand, mainly on the thumb joints. It is truly annoying especially that I play the piano. Typing on the iphone is killing me.

While I initially thought that might be the answer, on reflection I don't think John would ever be intentionally sloppy in anything he did.

I assume it to mean within tolerance but not 100% perfect, which is my understanding of how some were made back in the day.

Some were atrociously badly stitched and misaligned in the day but I am sure the Goodwear ones are more like Dav says.

That's what I mean exactly, thanks Nick! Anyway, it's perfectly done work and is true masterpiece in its every detail. I love JC's works.

You're right Sir, but the main thought was probably to recreate that true appearance of original combat jackets - that's why I supposed some slightly sloppy stitches to be done intentionally, just to make the jacket looking identical to combat originals.
