We made this jacket several months ago. The goatskin is our new goatskin, from an excellent source, and we love how close it is
to WWII goatskin. The color we requested is good, but some jackets are a little darker in the shades of russet, which we want to
emulate. This tested coloring the stock russet shade about two tones darker, and our dyes worked great. This is what many original
Rough Wear 18091 jackets look like, and this jacket will be the example for the web site.
The goatskin is chrome tanned, 1mm, and has a soft and comfortable drape. The grain is wonderful. Areas of stress and friction
from wear will fade lighter to the base finish.
We've copied Rough Wear's pattern to the smallest detail. Originals had dark brown cotton thread, a straight-bar Talon slider (we have
many original sliders from this period), and mid-brown knits. Our new knitting mill has the best knits we've ever handled, and this jacket is
made with those knits. We also found an amazing fabric supplier, so our lining fabrics are even better than what we had before.
This jacket has been lightly used by John, and shows very subtle signs of use, but not much.
The jacket would ideally fit someone in the range of 5'10" to 6'2", with a chest of 42" to 44", and a weight of about 180-210 pounds.
