Its Not a Case As I really love to work on the challenging projects, But gave priority to those developments which someone ordered or most people are demanding, USL is almost all material done, and may be assembled during next week for a review.
However thanks for keeping an eye and all the support

Dear Members
Please find below some updates on the Dubow A2 Jacket
We completed the patterns already and procured all the materials
In Materials we have the Original UNITED CARR History correct Press Snaps
Proper Hook
Talon Zippers
First Label prototype was done, but We found some more improvements to be made in this so we are remaking its label again
The Cotton which was used in Dubow Contract was 100% Cotton, so we made a special cotton and also dyed this according to its exact pantone and original Jackets Cotton color
Most Important was the leather preparation according to the sample, As our Original Jacket was in Goatskin Leather so we made its special Tanning and after weeks of struggle we made its very close pantone Goatskin, The Original jacket is
became darker from the outer side a little than its actual colour so we try to follow the original colour of the leather inside the pocket area and under the Flap Area, This Jackets Goatskin Leather was specially made with a very Unique and
pebbled structure of natural Grain, This kind of results can be achieved be hard to make them as the larger skins shrunk during the heavy tanning which results the grain to groom more on the outer surface, we can also say that a shrinking of larger skins to smaller to make this results which may also cause to increase the leather average of a normal jacket
Some Raw Leather Images
Inside Die Color
Regarding The Knitting as this Contract has Original Wool Knits so we make import special 100% Knits Made In USA which takes almost 2 months to arrive in our inventory, We have these knits in two colors Seal Brown and Russet Brown
Any Comments and suggestions are highly welcomed
Best Regards
Shawn

I believe that Dubow used RAU snaps rather than United Carr.

I just checked Eastman's guide, and you're right, 2BM2K, RAU ball studs were used for the Dubow 27798. Given that GW, BK and Dubow all use United Carr, however, and Shawn's already invested in these press studs, I think it's fair for him to stick with them.
