"The waiting is the hardest part"... As has been fully documented in a few threads here on TFL these last few years I placed my Good Wear order on March 29th 2014.. well today the wait ended, and it ended in the best way possible.
John Chapman delivered.
I could gripe about the wait, the gaps in correspondences, that other guys that ordered after me, received jackets before me ... but why bother (it does make for some interesting threads though). In the end I can say John and I had some very fun and interesting conversations via email and telephone, some about jackets and some not, but through it all I did find some amusement in the waiting and I will actually miss being on the wait list. I also would be remiss if I didn't mention that John did not charge me for this jacket..all this for the $200 deposit.
What I asked for and received is a GW version a 1939 Hercules jacket made from seal brown shinki horsehide lined in 24oz wool, 1930’s vintage talon zipper and olive thread.
