Was that Andrew's Jacket? Missed out on that seeing it about a day after it sold. It is a beautiful jacket.

I you ever think about selling, please let me know.

looks super - notice how the leather is not "pretty" as is fashionable with so many high-end repros these days......................

Hi Jon,

I did purchase it from Dr. Swatland a couple weeks ago. I am not sure I will ever let it go. But, I will contact you if I change my mind in the future. Thanks

What a beauty! Wonder if Andrew was upgraded it. Must have been something big to make him move that jacket.

Curiously, was the thread originally olive and after faded out from the sun and time, or was originally the color as on this nice photo?

looking at these photos I realize how accurate the reproduction of Platon's Dubow is. especially for the color of the skin

@Grant interesting your opinion too please

Dubows in this contract were both made with olive and tan thread

FYI heres my 27798 44” also bought of Andrew quite a few years ago now! Think it had previously been thru Aero’s hands who repaired rather than replace the label. The knits are clearly replacements and not as ‘wooly’ as most. An odd shaped patch clearly adorned it at some point plus name tag and original lining with name in decent condition!
