What a great collection, how long does it take to decide which one to wear every day?

 

[Silver Dollar]

If the choice process is done right, it takes you hours to get out of the house.

 

[Heavyduti]

Time well wasted, enjoy it!

[Justhandguns]

That's just cool! By the way, what kind of OD shirt you are wearing underneath?

I love the Werber and Cable Raincoat contracts

 

[CBI]

again - many thanks.

the OD shirt is a Magellan brand shirt I bought at Academy Sports. They are cheapies costing $13. Nothing special but some nice military colors.

Nice jacket collection CBI but I especially like the Goodwear for its single tone HH, really nice looking leather. I find single tone hh much more natural looking than two tone 'marbling' effect.

the two tone look is what originals look like after they have been worn for years (these are orginals in the thread). The Good Wear is what a newly issued A-2 would have looked like.

Wow, what an amazing collection!

Great A-2s!! I really like the Cable and Korean war Aero. Very cool. Decisions on what to wear.. I would wear the Goodwear until it looked like the Aero or Cable!!

The '39 Werber is my fave. If a used one ever comes up in size 46 and I'm there, look out.

Hi, CBI. I agree with Fletch--the '39 Werber is a killer. Nice collection of A-2's. Thanks for sharing the pics with us.

thanks guys. I find it ironic yet a HUGE credit to John Chapman to see how many folks prefer his repros to the real thing!

these originals are really study so I am able to wear them as much at the GW

thanks again
