Uffff, I don't even know where to start with this one! I have been looking for a Good Wear in my size (42) for years, since 2011 to be exact! It is so funny to think that while I was looking for one, I have found around 30 originals, one even with a box. Therefore, it is fair to say that finding a GW 42 is a rare bird.
The Dubow pattern has a slim athletic fit and is one of the most striking due to the unique collar shape and curved-pointy pocket flaps. The original 27798 can be found in horsehide and goatskin.
This Dubow is made of a special selection of goatskin from Mexico, and JC took it to the next level by doing a hot water treatment, achieving that popping grain effect. This jacket has a superb vintage look, even though it is brand new. The details of its construction are a delight to see. JC is truly an artist. The lining is made of Japanese cotton, and the dull reddish-brown knits come from a new supply. The spec label is indistinguishable from an original, the lettering size and style are spot-on. Inspector stamp and insignia stamps are correct. The snaps are vintage United Carr Anzo and the M-42 Talon zipper is a top reproduction.
Needless to say, if you are particular about details and authenticity, a Good Wear will exceed your expectations.

PerryDoes anyone on here know the original maker/pattern with the rounded collar at the ends? A lot have a pronounced pointy end but I’ve seen one maker/pattern that’s quite rounded . Trying to find a repro.
That leather looks thick, like a bowl of oatmeal.
Absolutely it would man. John shared a small album with me of a Dubow made up in this beautiful Mexican goat, pretty sure it must have been Jorge’s jacket actually.Sweet looking Dubow! Beautiful job by John! Hmmm, wonder if a Bronco would look nice in this hide?
Looks like it belongs with your vintage jacket collection too.
Agreed!Absolutely it would man. John shared a small album with me of a Dubow made up in this beautiful Mexican goat, pretty sure it must have been Jorge’s jacket actually.
Incredible skin, seal goatskin fading to a glowing russett underneath. I would just love to see a Bronco made up in this!
