New Good Wear Russet Aniline, Aero-{Acme} 42-18775-P

[saucerfiend]

Got this beauty last week, from John. It's everything I asked for and a perfect fit! Attention to detail and construction is impeccable. This is JC's latest batch of Russet Aniline HH and the best to date, IMO. Beautiful graining throughout. The new rust-red knits are just right, as well.

Two in one day? You know, you're beginning to **** me off!!!
Just kidding. I'm a tad jealous. Two fine A2's! Both homeruns.

Two very nice scores, Brian.
Superb fit and John's genius shines on!

Regards, coffee

Looks slightly less reddish than the previous batches. Very nice.

Not closed but, John does everything by himself, so I sure he'll get back to you at some point.

Two at the same time...? unbelievable...you lucky guy! Both looks great and fits you very well - perfect body lenght as well - congrats.
A few close-up pics would be great - thanks for sharing.

Love the rust knits with the russet hide. Are there any known examples of jackets with that combination having been issued?

I HATE to ask. But. How much and how long to get? You may PM if you prefer.

I've seen 1 or 2 on ebay and I believe JC either has or had one at one time.

Excellent jacket, Brian. Fits you great. You're amassing quite a collection of Goodwears!

On this question of ever having seen an original Aero issued with the russet/rust knits, I've got a related question: has anyone ever seen the rusty-kint Aero in original wartime photos at all?! I know it was issued quite a bit, have seen some black and white examples, but to this day I have still never seen the Aero caught in color, either in period photos or on any movie set. Thoughts?

Nope, haven't seen one in a vintage pic. I'll ask JC if he has one or perhaps Andrew Swatland can chime in.

I placed the order at the end of last year. The cost is Good Wear's standard cost.
