Doniger WWII original... interesting

[Brettafett]

This is another seal-ish goat Doniger I've recently come across. I always assumed they'd been made in russet only.

Some might say dark russet, well we could argue about that... What is seal/ light seal/ dark russet???
These photos are pretty well colour corrected and thats seal in my book. Not over dyed either.
Definitely a contrast to all the russet versions Ive seen.

Heres another...

And possibly another, but lighting is uncorrected... Witold Lanny Lanowski Doniger

Nice tribute A2! As to the second pic, the 5th AF patch has always been a fav of mine since seeing something similar in Chino a good few years ago. A bit creased too, sacrilege I say! Also, thats poss one of the most pointed collared A2’s I’ve seen - sure it’s a Doniger(?) who I know are more pointed than most but I’d have guessed a Spiewak if I had to!!

Yes, in the link they mention, "Jacket maker is David. D. Doniger, tagged a size 38."

Hmm, yeah -- "tagged" as a Doniger, but over a blue lining?

Yes, this jacket needs to be saved from the shame, and renovated, properly.
