    **NEWS EXTRA**Good Wear flying jackets take vintage authenticity to new heights!!

    I own one of John's masterworks. I've spent time with him, and found him to be hands down the most passionate and committed artisan I've ever encountered. The upside is when you finally own one of his creations, you own the very best. The downside is that it takes time and he can be hard to...

    Insurrection, Seattle, WA

    I bought a 30's Aero half belt from Wade and Carrie 3 months ago. After owning a number of other high end jackets (including 2 Lost Worlds custom jobs), my search has ended. Insurrection's design work on the '30's half belt is really incredible. Very form fitted compared to a regular Aero...

    Good Wear Leather

    I know J.C. is looking to move more and more into civilian jackets like the Ventura and California Racer. I've had the chance to visit with him a bit and see a range of his jackets, and the guy is really a genius. His A-2's are ridiculous, and the non-military jackets I've seen have been...

    New Good Wear "Arcadia" pics

    Here's the Arcadia in black: http://www.goodwearleather.com/photos/Californian_Arcadia_No3_44/ AMAZING jacket. John is ridiculously passionate about his art. Both this and a Rough Wear A-2 are absolutely best in class as far as I'm concerned, and have rendered a closet full of other leather...

    New Good Wear "Arcadia" pics

    I just had a chance to spend some time with John today, and looked at a number of really, really beautiful jackets. After owning Aero, Lost Worlds and various other high end makes, I am blown away by the quality of this man's work. I've got a jacket on order and CAN'T WAIT to get it.

    GREAT looking boots. Thanks for the pics. What soles did you order for them, and what was the break in period like? I'm planning on 705's. And, those pics sealed the deal--I'm going MP.

    Thanks man--I appreciate it. How about a) straight sideways view, b) looking down on them when you're wearing them, and any other view you think would be helpful to see. Again, thanks.

    Hey PoohBang: That brown pair of yours is actually my inspiration for ordering the way I did. That is a really cool looking pair of boots. I'd be eternally grateful if there was any way to see a few different views of them.

    As previously mentioned, I just ordered a pair of Wesco Boss boots, with the MP toe. I'm (kind of) having some mild second thoughts on the design. Any feedback on pros and cons of MP versus regular toe on the Boss boot would be much appreciated. Marineabilly: you just got a pair of Boss's...

    Marineabilly: You were instrumental in my Wesco selection. We corresponded sometime back, and I've been checking your blog regularly. Will post pics in six weeks (sigh) or so.

    Wesco Boss Long time lurker here, finally decided to take the plunge. Ordered a pair of 11" Wesco Boss boots, in black, with the MP toe, 705 heel and red leather lining. Can't wait for that Fedex truck to pull into the driveway!
