Wow, I think that's what I paid for my GW A-1, custom for me. Price of some new Aeros, too.
If you want to go to about half that, I'd be interested. I mean no offense- I know prices have gone up
on GWs, but so has John's skill and this is a used jacket, made custom for you. If others...
Odd. What exactly *is* that? It's not a WWII original and it's not a Chapman. Unless I'm mistaken, Chapman
doesn't have labels with his company name on them (and anyway he's not in NJ). Did he get new labels or is
he going to get a lawyer?
Congratulations on a nice hat. I was just curious, not bidding on it. Way too small for me.
I'm too thick to get the hints, so I don't know whose yard/arm that is. That's okay. Hope all
are happy with the deal.
Whew (pats sweat off his brow). Nice hat.
Alan, of course you remember my home refurb Imperial.
Mine must be later than yours, but more interestingly, quite a different style. Looks like yours has a crisper felt.
Certainly a different style of sweatband. Certainly a different binding...
tone12,
Looks like fatdutchman hasn't posted yet this year.
If you want to see more Johnson Leather jackets, including my rather older one, look here and here.
Interesting to see. The subject matter is vintage but the style is so quintessentially 80s.
To my eyes jarring.
I like the Bonneville painting, but the rest don't do it for me. Thanks for sharing, though.
Had only seen one of these before (I think someone uses one as an avatar image here?).
I don't think so. While I grant you the public's knowledge of hats is a sad thing to contemplate,
the bowler was the hat of most folks back in the day. The top hat or homburg might be associated
with bankers and the ruling class.
I believe the reason people notice bowlers more than fedoras...
This is interesting, at least to me.
Specifically the wording, "Bought of JOHN B. STETSON COMPANY".
Remember the odd wording on my Clear Nutria Stetson?
Repeated on the front of the sweat:
So was "buy of" or "bought of" a common construction back in those days?
