Believe it or not I was sitting in the lounge one day... minding my "P's and Q's" when lo and behold I get an email form J.C. himself... John Chapman of GoodWear NOT the other guy! Though truth be told, given his reputation, the amount of work he has lined up and his fanatical attention to detail, I expected to hear from the Other J.C. first. Needless to say I was dumbstruck. Last time I felt like this was when I got an actual snail mail letter from Ken Calder. Mr. Chapman and I discussed various Redskin models and his family's history in Troy, New York but he also mentioned a jacket he thought I might be interested in. Seems a WWII vet wanted a Dubow 20960 made of "soft" horsehide. Although quite good (to me at least) the buyer sent the jacket back and Mr. Chapman made him another. The original jacket "sat around" for years until Mr. Chapman thought of me. Me????!!!!! Well he sent the jacket along "on spec" and After trying her on I've decided to keep her!

I think it fits well. It is the softest Horse I've EVER felt and I like the color. For those interested, yes it's a 1911 Campaign Hat. The Cavalary Unit is Company K, 9th U.S. Cavalry.

Wow, the Lord has indeed smiled upon thee!

Now, if you replace the keys on your hip with a different kind of 1911 the look will be complete.

Thanks for the shout out. Recently I've moved from Da Nang, back to Ha Noi. The weather is about 68F and dry - perfect A2 weather for me. To answer your question - Hanoiians are about the worst drivers in the country. I've already had 3 body contacts in 2 days.
I've recently posted photos from my most recent trip up the Ho Chi Minh Trail in the Steamer trunk - If you'd like to know more. I hope I'm not hijacking your thread.

Thanks for the love folks. Goodness gracious how I love the international flavor of this Forum. Friendly folks from all corners of the world. There's a lot of "bad" on the net but some good as well... THIS place falls in the latter.
