So happy these got a resole, they’re by far my most broken in and comfy pair I own. I got them 11 years ago when I was working in a store part time (in a Timberland store no less) and it was a huge chunk of my wage back then. Here’s to 11 more years.
From left to right - Eastman Rough Wear 27752 (my most worn) Eastman .50Cal and finally the newest addition my Good Wear by John Chapman Rough Wear 1401-P. Not a bad 3 jacket lineup if you ask me…
Picked up this late 70’s Lee Storm Rider. I wanted one that had the “been there done that” look but still wearable. This one has the frayed collar, a couple of small holes, the lining patched and some deep dirt and grime stains. Perfect.
After messaging John Chapman at Good Wear about a RW 27752 he came back to me with the below offer:
1401-P
Russet Horween sample
Vintage WW2 Crown Zipper
NOS United-Carr snaps
Brick red lining
Medium brown knits
I thought about it but in the end gave in…what a jacket this is!
