Been meaning to post up a new thread for sometime but been hugely busy at work, who isn’t these days!!
So to kick things off and inspired by Jan’s RW, I just couldn’t resist giving johns new goat a try.
John being one to push the boundaries, was happy to oblige and make a semi combat clone Dubow in his new goatskin
So, not happy with a straight up GW I asked John once again to let his artistic skills wonder, I wanted sewing with a human touch, pocket flaps that weren’t perfect, pocket placement he had licence to make them like an original.
I’ve always been a seal fan and on this occasion John was happy to dye the Dubow and I have to say the result is frighteningly good, a really nice organic colour
This jacket has the NOS poppers and I went for a NOS Talon to complete the hardware
The fit is loose on me and I will try get some fit pics later today if I can find an obliging hand.
Here are some close ups for now, John did a very small amount of clone work on the leather, very subtle and whilst I’ve never had this before it’s really enhanced the jacket from the get go.
If you’re considering goat then I have to say go for it, it’s very different from steer and horse hide , soft and with a great drape.
On this Dubow I have the new knits which I have to say are so much better than anything else I’ve had and I think the colour of them goes so well with the jackets overall look,I hope you guys think so as let’s be honest nobody else will pick out the finer details!!
So hopefully I’ve kicked off a new thread to “salute” the goatee’s out there..I know there are a few out there but please do add to this thread.
Once again John has put together another of his crazily accurate A2’s and I can’t thank him enough for going along with me on another of these combat clone style jackets, I think he has done a sterling job and really captured the essence of how originals were made, solid jackets but put together quickly
