ELC Werber - not my cup of tea, odd hide and strange collars and peculiar colour (although I appreciate lots of you like it)
GW Dubow HH and Goat (2 different jackets not a hh torso with goat arms or suchlike) - regret losing the Goat
GW RW 27752 - too small
GW Doni - impulse used buy and incorrect fit
GW 16160 - used buy, incorrect fit
RMNZ RW x2 - strange collar and characterless hide
I am a very fussy bugger indeed nevertheless I now happily own:
GW United Sheeplined - I love this
GW Doniger - arrived yesterday and fits like a glove and looks the nuts!
On it's way...... GW RW 1401-P soonish and eventually GW16160!

Also though, the fact that I am an incredibly fussy so and so doesn't help. Luckily though my sizing has been nailed by JC , the latest Doni is absolutely perfect which lends me to think that I'm no longer ready to chance a used jacket(unless the price is good!!!!)
The Dubow sounds great, it's a lovely contract to wear as you well know, incredibly comfortable and looks exceptionally cool to boot. think the purple over the reddish knits is a good choice. I'll have a fiver on 4 months till arrival!
