Has anybody seen/purchased one of the A-1 replicas from Doursoux?
http://www.doursoux.com/product_info.ph ... cts_id=679
I have been in touch via the website and the jacket is produced in house in calfskin. I'm not sure what weight this equates to - I presume that it would be lighter than horsehide, but would it be equivalent to goatskin or capeskin in weight?
There are some detail inconsistencies (principally size/location of pockets and the apparent one piece back/lack of seam on the upper arms), but I do like the colour/texture and the button closure on the waistband.
I have requested higher res. images of the exterior and lining/labels, along with a query about the potential for customisation.
The price is currently 390 Euro so somewhat cheaper than Eastman and Good Wear (which is the one that I'd really prefer, but can't justify at present) and a little higher than the US Authentic.
Any comments welcome.
Cheers
Ian
