Incidentally, JC produced his first United Sheeplined jacket in 2010 (http://www.goodwearleather.com/photos/UnitedSheeplined_No1_46/).
The pattern is a new venture for DD, but I don’t believe that this is what John has been developing in the interim.
As has been said, JC has explained to...
Sold a series of jackets over the last few months (far more than I was able to wear) to buy a couple of used Freewheelers jackets. Using the Journeyman regularly to work now, awaiting delivery of a Dustbowl for more casual use (with the knitted collar). The image was from the auction.
I’ve owned many examples of the various GW and ELC A-1 jackets and the BK prototype. For my money, the .50 cal ELC A-1 that I have now is the most accurate (convincing) that I’ve owned.
The earlier jackets were fastened using buttons at the waist; later contracts had snaps.
Similarly, some of them earlier jackets were fastened by a single button at the collar; changed to two buttons in later contracts.
