This isn't easy for me but due to some circumstances I must...
Goodwear arcadia received in march. The jacket has not been outdoors at all. I have worn it for about 2.5 hours total id say just around the house. Johns jackets are perfectly made and hard to come by,, especially his civilian jackets. Im not sure what his wait time is now but will guess 2 years? This arcadia is custom not only because its my order but because I changed the pockets to a more vertical position, added eyelets to strengthen the zipper, corduroy in cuffs/waistband, riri main zipper, and double stitching around hand warmer pockets. The diamond chain pulls are nos talon. The leather is seal brown shinki horsehide. This is a beautiful, beautiful halfbelt that is same as new. 1250 shipped in conus.

John and John really did it right on this one! That looks like a similar leather to my GW Imperial. I owned an Arcadia and the original pattern Jacket John used.

I know you are selling for a worthy cause. Good luck my Friend.

It is 80 degrees and I am wearing my Arcadia to try and tell if I could live with a shorter one.

I just love that Shinki! My Arcadia is Italian Horsehide, and the sleeve with some creasing measures 26 around the curve, and 25 straight. Please throw a tape on those sleeves again John.
