It's awesome - but like others - I had to wonder if it's been worn for a while and had the HWT. The pockets show outlines usually found on well-worn items (the "pocket donut" in jeans from tobacco cans for instance). Hard to imagine it's new - it looks so damn good. That's pretty impressive - and the being impressed thing seems to advance with every GW creation. Lucky dog!

Definitely no HWT round these parts, I'm not a big fan certainly not on jackets at this price 
As for the pockets well as soon as I received it I did my usual and put a 40's Zippo in one and to get some definition in the other I used an old battered hip flask. After the rain shower the pockets were wet so I gently pressed around the edges to ever so slightly accentuate the lines. Nothing major just exceptional hide with lots of grain straight out the box.
3 days wear now and it just gets better You gotta love JC!

Oh, I believe you, but I was just saying I'm amazed. Wondered if that was a lighter - I have a 50's Western Airlines Zippo I keep in one (my Mom was a stewardess) and the others all have coins from the era, or a later Silver Ike dollar. Nice to see what others put in their jackets!

Amazing looking! Which goat is this? Looks like the "ultra-vintage".

Let's see some shots of this hide out in the sunlight. I'm curious.

Must add my 2p's worth and agree with all - a bloomin nice jacket and exactly the colour I'd like, as all mine are russet!
On that note, did Dubow produce seal orignals? Not sure I've seen one but the fact you had JC make you one I'm guessing they did - assuming that is JC would/not go against the orignal contract spec if asked?
cheers

Its a dark russet as opposed to seal, wonderful stuff!
Damien I will post some more pics outside although these are a very good reflection of colour and only daylight was used, no indoor tungsten.

This jacket is what all repro's should be measured against. After John, the bullsh#t excuses like the one from ken calder and the other repro makers don't fly anymore, this is now a new generation, where the maker ACTUALLY fulfills the claim of authenticity we all have fallen for and fallen short of for 20 years, they need to get on board it's a new day.............or radically reduce pricing
