Yeah, they're pretty close I'd say. Russet hides always seem to saturate more in the iPhone pics. I desaturated them some to more resemble the jacket. I'd say they're accurate.Great fit!Do the pics show the true color? It looks much ruddier than my russet goat half belt.
I got lucky because I'm a fan of the more red hides. I know some don't like them, and they might not be as historically accurate (debated before) but that's OK. I reckon there were all sorts of variations during WWII. It's not like I put a collar stand on it or anything lolLovely color. There seem to be great differences between batches. Mine looks more like ordinary mid brown.
Previously not an Russet or goat fan. But looking at all the GW goat jackets and trying a GW russet HH A-2, I began to appreciate them. I don't look good in "reds" according to the boss. She changed her mind when I got this one, so I guess it's OK.
Here's a pic of my other Aero Bronco in a seal cape hide. It's ~5 years old now.
Lovely color. There seem to be great differences between batches. Mine looks more like ordinary mid brown.
Hey Ansel Adams - it's an iPhone, not a Canon EOS 1D lol
And I ain't no Bradley Cooper!
Butte, is it just my imagination, or is the body length of the russet Bronco about 1 1/2 inches longer than your seal Bronco? Not to imply that there is anything wrong with the fit of the seal, but maybe the russet appears that it might be a better fit considering you height.
@ Fanch:This jacket is about 3/4" shorter - I'm standing on a slope and have my shoulders pulled up, but yes there's a bit of a difference. Also, as Jan pointed out - I had lost weight and my pants/shirt were way to big. I be those pants are hanging 2" too low in that pic lolAs for the app - I use it. It's good, but the iPhone 4 (not s) is a so-so camera. Camera+ helps a bit. My wife has a good Canon D1, but she won't let me use it lol
@Worf:Thanks man. Still waiting for your reply on the jacket.
@ the rest:Thanks all. I appreciate the feedback. I figured I was gonna get hammered on this so I'm pleasantly surprised!
Wow..I think that GW A1 would be a great jacket for Worf..! I've never seen a better grainy capeskin! HD
Me too. I think his wife will love him in it I truly hate to sell it.
Well, I could always start eating burgers and bowls of pasta again, whilst skipping the gym and jogging. then the others wouldn't fit right. My wife is going to kill me. She loves the jacket.Yeah..I doubt that you could ever find another like it...
