the g(oat) spot??

 

[Grant]

The goatskin John's using right now is really awesome! That's thee nicest Dubow repro I've seen yet!
Thought it'd be fun to compare it to an original goat Dubow.

 

[Clark J]

I'am sure there dam close!!

 

[Tim P]

yep that looks close to me. my GW fantasy is a flat mid brown (no red hints) creasy and smooth combination horsehide, rather than grainy, poughkeepsie with a decal. nice yellowy liner, dull ring snaps appropriate knits (my poughkeepsie knits were replaced so I dont know what they should be like) and nice basic pockets.

to return to topic though, goat is just so wearable and looks so nice too..Nice even russet finish.

 

[jacketimp]

eeeer distance of the pockets????

 

[fishmeok]

Clark old boy, let me borrow that for a while, I wanna compare it to my pre-production Dubow. That would make a nice picture essay on how far John has come in the last year...

I almost completely guarantee you will get the same one back. Probably.
Cheers

[better duck]

I'm in line for one of those too. Just have to keep on practicing patience for another month or two.....
In the meantime: congratulations with yours!

The original is zipped closed, the GW isn't -- probably why they look different.

My question is on the shape of the pocket corners and the flap scallop. They're not both in a flat state, but did Dubow vary through contracts?

Oh yeah, great hide -- reminds me of my G&B goat.

In fact there were at least two or three pocket flap scallops or configurations used by Dubow throughout their production. I have discussed this before with John and I chose the more "pointy" variation for my jacket.

Nice, but I'm not sure I like the Dubow epaulettes. Were they all that short and boxy looking? Makes the shoulders look awfully tight. Looking at the Lost Worlds' examples, they don't seem as short. Maybe a size issue too, I suppose.

Chandler:

Looking at the Lost Worlds' examples,

You might as well look at an Avirex or schoot! Lost World's Dubow epaulets are ALL buggered up- nothing like an original Dubow. Most 27798s had epaulets like those in the two examples above- fat.

Was only looking as a comparison, my knee-jerk friend, not as the bench mark of what a Dubow (or any A-2) ought to be (in any way).
