Worked the area with hot water so I provoked the wear intentionally.

OK, that makes sense then. I made the wrong assumption this was just done quickly by hand. Hot water makes it different.

Congratulations on receiving your new Dubow. Everything looks top notch and it fits you well.
I'm envious; mine is on its way & somewhere between Bahrain & California...

Wow, thanks for those close ups, that jacket is just stunning
The character of that leather is just “wow”
I can only imagine the character that will develop with regular

The Dubow has landed!
A stock M(42) with longer sleeves and a tightly attached waistband fits me much better than my Doniger & Werber and the shoulders are much less square & boxy. I guess making a reproduction pattern directly from an original makes all the difference in the world.
The fit & appearance of the goatskin should only get better as the jacket breaks in, softens and is worn over time.
@Shawn Ali & Five Star have delivered a really nice looking jacket. I'm really going to enjoy this one!
