The GW Dubow now looks like a lightly worn original. I wonder whether in the future Goodwears will be passed off as originals on Ebay etc..?

Yes, maybe some of them, although seeing some of the serious wear one or too have had in a really short time not sure all the hides would stand up long-term; that Dubow looks great BTW.

The vemont espresso on this one is allot like allot of Dubows, aniline dyed with a dark base so abrasion does not show allot. In fact the oil from my neck is starting to darken on the top of the collar back of the neck just like allot of original 27798s. Only time will tell but this hide is a real winner. Ya can't go wrong with the goat John uses either.
