How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

100% your fault. Thank you!
Not a huge fan of 2-tone in general, but this is spectacular. Best I've seen.

Same here. I’ve had several ideas for a two tone over the years but never could quite get the equation right. When I saw this one I thought “yeah, that’s it”.

Agreed. I've said it before but I REALLY don't see what to upgrade with over this jacket. One could get something similarly cool but if one is to retire with only one jacket, this might as well be it.
Hmm, I like this minimalist cross zip. Congrats.

Ton,
I think you are going to be very happy with this guy! I tried on his cousin in size 44 made from the Horween overdye and I was very impressed. This is a great pattern, very similar to the Vanson Commando but a bit shorter and perhaps even a bit trimmer. This is actually the jacket I am talking to Damon about making with the NOS Crown zips I bought.
If I ever do two tone I’m going to do white and black or black and pink. Just touches like maybe lapels and epaulets in the white/pink. I’d like to look like those 50s-60s rock n roll/rockabilly two tone jackets. I probably won’t ever get around to it, but if I did, that’s it.

Why are you so strongly against washing a shearling jacket?
See this post below apparently some member has already done it and the result is fine.

Wow, never thought that mash actually works! The listed prices are much more reasonable. I almost started a thread to ask around the other day.
If I may ask, what’s the final price includes everything, and how long does it take for the shipping?
Another thing that I worry about is that the package maybe too small and can easily get lost, is it just an envelope or a package? Thanks
I know a few people have gotten things from Bronson around here. Also can’t recall if the thread was about a tanker or B jacket, but one awhile back about that. In any case I’m in the market for a tanker jacket, but need it to be a reasonable price whatever that means haha. Bronson looks to have a decent* version for about 160. ATF actually has an attractive tanker because it’s only 99. It doesn’t have an authentic liner but that’s fine by me, I’m not an Army/War guy I just happen to love the look of tankers and need a decent fall/early winter jacket. For example Buzz Rickson have a great version but it’s 445. So Id like to have a tanker incoming but looking for any experience here* with Bronson or ATF tankers. Thanks all.

I bought two of them so the total came out to $182.00 with shipping. I bought a zipper from them once a couple years ago for a Navy jacket I own and I think they shipped it in a small box but I cannot remember for sure. I think it usually takes about a week or two for it to arrive, the zippers have already shipped.

That's great to know, I hope this will give hope to other people wanting a jacket from GW. Aside from Acadia/Hercules/A2, what other patterns does he do? I'm having a hard time navigating his website. I'm thinking of getting a jacket made by GW, I don't mind the wait so that might work out.

I'm glad this is going to you. This jacket is really beautifully made and I'm sure you'll like it better than your older JL. Welcome back to the cross zip game
On his Homepage you need to click on “photos of new jacket productions” an index of most all his models is there- a lot of A-2s...the Californians are his civilian types. Each has a subset of photos.

Jin, The A-2s are all laid out pretty clearly on his website but his civilian jackets are not as easy to find. handymike is right that perusing the photo index of his “Californian” models is probably the best way to pick your favorite. For me I think that the Arcadia is still probably my favorite one. I will let you guys know if that changes when I receive the Hercules.
