New Good Wear Acme 21996

[Jeff M]

Received it in December.
(Apologies to those who get tired of seeing photos of A2's over and over. John just makes such great jackets.)








Made from John's seal brown Japanese HH, LHJ103. This and the Horween "Vermont Espresso" are my two favorite "A2" horse hides.
The usual artistry one expects with a Good Wear A2.

Jeff the jacket is perfect in every way. Enjoy breaking it in. I have a GW Dubow made from the same horse hide and it is one of my favourites.

Lovely stuff, Jeff! Never get tired of John's stuff. That colour is perfect.

In his post Jeff makes the hide type very clear-Japanese HH, LHJ103.

Yup, I zipped past the bottom of the post where it was obviously was, and have now corrected. But thank you for pointing that out, Andrew.

Jeff,
That's beautiful and a perfect fit! Just got my 21996 from John within the last 2 weeks as well. I opted for the LHJ105, the Japanese semi-aniline dark seal, because like Andrew, I have a Dubow in that hide as well. Congrats and enjoy!

Simply brilliant Jeff! How many A-2s does that make now? You must have a nice collection going on there now.
