Ja Dubow 27798 (Platon) A-2 jacket review and pics

[London Cabbie]

No worries Mulceber - as I'm working from home I have found time to take a quick pic. But forgive me the teasing I'm just so excited because I ordered on 8th December 2019 ... almost in a galaxy far far away. So here's a quick pic between meetings.View attachment 41165

Straight from the Quatermaster...First pic looks AMAZING....

 

[Micawber]

No doubt about it, just as Mr Kipling has been making "exceedingly good cakes" Platon turns out some exceedingly good jackets.

Nice one Flash!

Congrats! Absolutely perfect!

First impressions. Fits nicely and details look right to my untrained eye. A longer wait than I expected with a remarkable lack of communication but am I pleased with the result? Yes. Here's a few more pics. I still can't quite believe it just turned up like a long lost cousin. Yes I am very pleased but boy was that some wait !

“It’s a patient man that is rewarded in life” !!!
The hell with all that, I’m excited for you!!
That’s a beauty Flash !! Now wear the hell out of it
Congrats!
Love those knits !!

Congratulations, Flash!

Your new jacket looks incredible; I'm envious!

Good things happen to good people. You must of ate your vegetables, helped old ladies cross the street and returned that wallet full of money that you found...

 

[Smithy]

Just stunning, nice one Flash!

Can only say; clap clap clap! very well made!
Congrats to the owner and great job from Platoon! A lot of improvements especially on the now correctly pointed Dubow collar.
Also, for the rest! ...very good and historically correct! I do bow down in admiration! Now I am also convinced that the prime makers have some tough nails to chew with this shown quality! Congrats!

Will one of you guys who own one of these Platon Dubows please talk him into making the length longer than 25 inches and going back to making a size 48.......pleeezze..

Oh have I tried

 

[mulceber]

Did you ever hear back about him doing that special run, Brett?

 

[Brettafett]

No, doubt anyone will. He made it clear, its not in the plans.

 

[B-Man2]

Shame.... He's leaving money on the table...but he was never one that you could reason with to any degree.
But I think he's probably still pissed off he's been banned from here.
He wasn't really a bad guy.

Congrats on a fine looking Dubow repro. Definitely the best value around if you care about accuracy of the pattern, materials and construction.
From what I hear, the wait's getting longer and longer for one.

 

[B-Man2]

Definitely agree with you Grant.
Great value for the money .

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Since I ordered I've thought all sorts of things but, listening to others here, I've stayed optimistic and kept things in perspective. There's no doubt that covid has thrown a spanner in everyones works but that just underlined for me that life isn't a rehearsal and when it eventually turned up I'd be ever the more grateful. And I am. I shall enjoy it though I won't deny I've not had moments of doubt. It's a very nicely made jacket and I agree it's good value.

 

[B-Man2]

Nicely written ..
Enjoy it and wear the hell out of it...

I'm at work guys - take it easy View attachment 41155

Oooooh That is good!

Tells a story...

Great looking jacket, the leather looks really nice
Did you upgrade on the zipper or anything else
Am viewing on an I phone so not great at picking up the details
