    Hey ELC Werber / G&B M-422A owners!

    Hey, hey. I resemble those remarks....I admit it looks ridiculous right now but it will take on a normal shape in a couple of days when I pull the stuffing out and wear it. I'll be able to move more freely in it without losing my shirt going up a size. My advice to future Werber owners is buy a...

    Hey ELC Werber / G&B M-422A owners!

    Didn't really mean to hijack the thread Fletch, its just cool to see someone else with a Werber. Just wanted to say its one of the neat things I'm finding out about horsehide, that it can be tweaked and formed here and there without apparent damage. I bought a used LW Dubow size 46 recently and...

    Hey ELC Werber / G&B M-422A owners!

    Sorry that happened, man. Patience is a virtue I'm short of too. I soaked mine once before to help it break in. It took almost three days to air dry even in the low humidity here in the Southwest. This time I flattened the collar when wet as I'm tired of it digging in my neck and I'll try to...

    Hey ELC Werber / G&B M-422A owners!

    Hey Fletch- I'm having a similar problem it seems. My ELC Werber, a 44 like yours, was close fitting to start and became positively snug since I've put on a couple of pounds. I'd be looking for a 46 but afraid it would be too long or large in areas it presently isn't. Have you tried resizing...

    Why is horsehide better than steerhide?

    I agree with Rufus. Besides, take a drive through the countryside and look at the cows. Boring. Now look at the horses. Which would you rather be? Which would you rather wear? I rest my case.

    A-2 Real McCoy NZ *SOLD*

    I bought this RMNZ horsehide Roughwear used a few months ago but it's a little big on me. The jacket is awesome but I hardly wear it. The horsehide is amazing with a rich, beautiful grain all over. It's super clean and in very close to new condition. It's tagged a 50 but actual size 46 [no...

    Liking it better

    It's crazy how we look forward to a new hide to wear isn't it? Some kinda primal thing.

    Liking it better

    Sure- it's not that often I see a 48T for sale. A chance to have one for a bargain price probably. Good luck with your new jacket- you went with HH, right?

    Tom, There's a US/A goatskin A-2 in 48L on ebay you might want to check out. Mike

    Liking it better

    Yeah Tom- I agree you’ll probably be happy with US/a. I did well going a size down from my usual 44 because the 42 I received measures 24” pit to pit. The smaller size jacket is also plenty ample in the shoulder area even though I have a hefty build. Had I gotten the 44 that was suggested it...

    Liking it better

    Good luck Tom. Just keep in mind the US/a is cut kind of long. Mine is a 42 reg and it's about an inch longer in the body and sleeves than I think a regular should be. If you are shorter than 6' tall I'd recommend a custom fit. Thing is if you spend for that you're in the price range for a good...

    Liking it better

    This is my US/A seal brown horse that I bought new a few weeks ago. I’m still curious to see what the 800.00+ buck jackets have in the way of finer leather and detail but this one suits me fine as an every day/ tough as nails jacket I wear to work. The one thing that did bug me about the...

    True colors of G+B

    Thanks Tom, I lucked out there, getting an interesting shade of brown. Now I want a second jacket- a darker shade-no lighter. I see how people end up with a closet full. .

    True colors of G+B

    Fletch, As a fledging A-2 enthusiast, and no offense to you, I'd like to throw my two cents in. Many people go into business because of a need to call the shots. Its tough to cover all the bases and you never know how much someone is spread out from being on the outside looking in. I had the...

    True colors of G+B

    Hey Tony, Thanks for the pic of the VG, I think thats the goatskin I'll get when I go for one. The horse is a very even dark brown, I'll try to get a better pic in outdoor natural light.

    True colors of G+B

    It's much heavier than any of several goatskin A-2's I've handled but we're talking Cooper and US Wings here. To tell the truth, I've only seen one other horsehide, that was a Flightsuits, and this one 'feels' heavier by a good 10-15%. In the world of leather I'd say it was squarely in between...

    True colors of G+B

    Yessir, Seal brown it is. The cheapo digital camera I used has the color true to life.

    True colors of G+B

    Here's the other side. Jacket is still a little shiny but the flash glare is adding some of that. From what I'd heard I wasn't expecting the hide to feel this pliable so soon. Not complaining though.
