GW Dubow W535-AC-20960

[handworn]

John just came out with his version of the Dubow W535-AC-20960 pattern of 1941, and I'm in awe of it.

I already liked Dubows about more than any other maker. But this, with a collar stand (and he seems to think that's the kind they had on the 1942 Tokyo Raid)-- It shattered my resolution not to place an order for a GW until times improve. I just emailed him and asked him to make me one.

The leather looks lovely, any idea if it's a new batch or the stuff he usually uses?

 

[bseal]

Yes, it's the new batch of Vermont Espresso.

 

[handworn]

Does it actually come from Vermont, or is that just fanciful?

Yes, it's the new batch of Vermont Espresso.

John's a wizard! I never really like Dubow contract, but this photo makes me want one. Handworn, congrats on the decision, don't forget to take pictures when you have it next four months. WOW! I think this is the same contract that Gen.Doolittle wore, right?

That's what John says.

Anyone else notice that in the photo of the crew of the Ruptured Duck (crew #7) one A-2 has a right pocket twice its usual height, and on another they moved one of the pockets up to about armpit height? I think Mr. Thatcher from that crew is still around, and Ellen Lawson, the widow of the author of the wonderful Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo; I wonder if they would remember why.

Great! Last week I ordered an A2 in Vermont Espresso HH too!

That was brought up a while back. We guessed they were personally customized by their owners to hold things that wouldn't fit well in the usual A-2 pocket or the usual configuration.

That's positively eerie, how similar they look.

No mine is the one in the photo next to the original size 52 (Pauls) collar shot. It a 27798 and is an almost exact copy of the original. The color is an almost dead match don't ya think.

Yeah, what's the difference between the GW Dubow W535-AC-20960 and GW Dubow W535-AC-27798 ?

The collar stand would be the most notable.

I'd like first right of refusal once you figured out it's too big for you George!
