New Bill Kelso Werber 1402-p in Russet Liberty HH

Opinions vary... Hence the upsurge in Bill Kelso jackets here!

So why did you go a Bill Kelso over a Good Wear? The wait...or the price? Great Bill Kelso jacket by the way..

Yes, but IMO, in terms of accuracy, BK may not as accurate as GW, but better than ELC and Aero.

No argument here in that regard. High praise to say ELC fall short of BK. Keep some pics coming as you 'wear' it. Enjoy!

Sorry I missed your question... I think you miss understood my post, I am not the person who value accuracy that much.
Also, as I said in my last post, I think BK is very accurate, from the photo I've seen, I can say most of their jackets are as accurate as GW.

Is it worth the additional outlay and the loooooong wait though Andrew for these marginal subtleties?

If you want the very best...
My reasoning last year was that it cannot harm putting down a deposit, one can always change your mind if you find something else sooner. In the mean time I have tried a couple of jackets and none of them really 'took', so am glad I pulled the trigger on my GW. Only a few more months to go.. I have another mid range A-2 on the way out of curiosity, will be good to compare.
Another reason is that I have wasted a lot more time and money on other top range A-2s over the years, that were not 'great' for one reason or another.
The wait times of other makers are also becoming pretty long. The days of 4 weeks are over my friends...
