In the short while I've had one of Platon's seal Dubow's I've worked it hard. Purchasing it new via Fleabay was a bit of a spur of the moment thing as, following the hoo haa on here about them, I was curious to see what they were actually like. I have no complaints about the Dubow other than my expanding frame meant it was initially a tad tight around my 21st Century middle age spread. Verdict = good, nay, excellent value.
Many moons ago I was involved in the antique restoration trade and have dabbled on and off ever since. I've restored / stripped / redyed / refinished a number of leather artifacts including, years ago, some of the leather flight jackets, helmets and other collectables that I've owned or been through my hands.
I followed Jeremiah's Onward To A Better BK thread and have had itchy fingers ever since. Seeing the Dubow was seal over russet - and I like russet - I thought I'd have a bash to see what I could come up with. Some are going to hate this I know, but I can live with that, one man's meat is another man's poison and live and let live and all that.
As was....
