@ton312 Please tell me the eagle has landed..
I am quite surprised at the amount of GW that end up for sale to be honest. One would think that people would hold on to them after the long period wait time and the custom fit (Not refering to this one in particular that was a sales page item)
I would tend to agree but I think the second possibility is the one that holds more true I'm afraid. If I'm not wrong once you decide on the jacket model until you receive it isn't that long of a time so such a volatile difference in taste of jackets would be very surprising!There are many possible explanations to this one, from the person who placed the order having moved on to something different, to expectations not being met after all, etc.

?? If I have to wait anylonger for these pictures, I'm coming to Chicago and drive that parcel to your house myself..Negative.
Crazy cool to my eyes.Might be slightly crazy for buying a Ralph Lauren jacket off the bay, but I'm a sucker for a CR and it just looks like it has everything going for it. Hopefully lives up to the pics.

On one hand I agree with you, it is surprising to see a jacket that someone waited years for passed on as if it were just another jacket that could be found anywhere. On the other hand, I think it is a symptom of and a part of the jacket culture that we belong to. Many of us are still searching for that perfect jacket and the Good Wear, no matter how good it really is, becomes just another step along the path.I am quite surprised at the amount of GW that end up for sale to be honest.

It’s so true man. The journey is the destination. I long abandoned the notion of THE perfect leather jacket. I wouldn’t even recognize it if I saw it, and if I don’t see it how can it be perfect? I’m in the twilight of my leather jacket buying life though. I do wish to keep a small stable of leather jackets, with zero redundancy.the quest is never really over.
After seeing Ton's New BL I'm now convinced I'm going to order another Highwayman in the same leather.
Has anyone dropped 2 sizes in a HWM and how did it workout?
Looking at the measurements the 38 is the same chest as my 42 A-2 so should be perfect.
SameI dropped 2 sizes in my Highwayman and it’s perfectly fine. Still room for a sweater.
