@HMamen Thanks for sharing - and pairing - the Wabby with your grandfathers WW2 jacket That has insane patina. What a history and what an incredible item. That thing is WILDLY COOL.

Good luck restoring the bomber suit!! Sorry it doesn't fit you (my bad), and thank you for the great way to solve it by showcasing it like this. Cheers

@Larkens Agree - the photos and atmos and history (!) here is fascinating. Good to see you with your own Wabby!!!

@denim-dawg it’s an amazing set of pictures. Best to the old leather you can see the wabash fabric even better. Can’t wait to see it with my own eyes and camera. And next to my Wabash 🤍

@denim-dawg Haha, that jacket has been patinated to death, I´m afraid. Three generations of hard use has taken its toll. Interestingly it is made of high quality goat leather (as is the 1942 bomber suit). Almost as strong as horse leather, but much lighter, I wonder why so few choose goat in their jackets. We made a run of replicas of this jacket in various leathers, from Horween CXL to Shinki horse (now THAT was something). If we were to do it again, we would definately try to find high quality goat leathers.

@HMamen Amazing to hear! I love goat skin - I love to eat goat... and I love goats du roam wine.. Crossing fingers you get to make a new batch of replicas of this jacket! Anyone else keen? @Chap​

Hi everyone,

I’m Dan from Germany. I recently joined the forum after receiving the traveling shirt from JB, just like some of you here.

It will definitely get some honest wear with me. I’m planning to put some miles on it, let it collect a bit of , dust and hopefully some good stories along the way.

I’ve actually had the shirt for a little while already and will share a few photos soon to show how it’s been getting along.

Happy to be part of this and great to meet you all.

Dan
