Platon Dubow seal?

[Greg Gale]

Lovely! How does it fit?

 

[Teddy]

I had my concerns about the standard fit but this athletic cut is perfect for me at size 42 (now I normally wear size 40). The sleeves are also not too long either for my short arms.

The horsehide is nice, a touch thinner than the possibly 10-15 years old ELC House A2 I own, sturdy but also pliable. It's unmatched, as you can see from the photos I took, and I bet it'll get really good characters with wear.

First impression: totally worth it. Very excited, and very happy.

oh yeah, datsanice boss.

Friendly neighbours just gave me my parcel so here's your first sneak peek into the Platon Dubow seal:

The leather looks nice.

First impression: totally worth it.

Absolutely. No doubts.

 

[Teddy]

Pardon the poor quality

 

[jeremiah]

That is NICE!

 

[Greg Gale]

Brilliant! Fits spot on. Could you please share the measurements as well as your height weight and chest size?

 

[Whatsit]

Very nice. Now I’m super excited. Thanks for sharing

 

[Juanito]

Yep, another crappy quality jacket that never was delivered.

 

[Silver Surfer]

hahaahahaaha, juanito, ya slay me, hahahahaha. hmmm...i hear rain drops, perhaps raining dubows any day now.

 

[B-Man2]

Outstanding !!
The line forms on the left!

Just as nice as I've imagined... Looks great nkang. Mine should be along shortly, and from what I see, WELL worth the price of admission, and the not-so-bad wait. Absolutely the hottest deal out there for a top-shelf actual contract repro at this time..

 

[Whatsit]

Hey @Technonut2112 is your tracking working on yours? Mine still says it’s in Athens. Last updated Friday night.

 

[Grant]

Whoa, perfect fit. Damn, now I want one. When does the madness end?!?

I don't expect to see anything until it hits the States on mine....

 

[Technonut2112]

I keep going back and looking at how friggin' sweet the seal HH looks, and how glad I am that I went ahead and chose it, although I originally wanted a russet. I foresee good things emerging from this hide over wear and time..

 

[Officer Dibley]

I'm genuinely pleased for y'all. Your faith has been rewarded. I still won't buy one as i already have a couple of great A-2' and i still won't break my personal rule of touching the jacket i buy but i'm glad you are happy with the product.

Whaddawesay ? 12 months til every other maker is out of business ?

Or perhaps a repeat of GW where demand will outstrip supply and so a long list of frustrated buyers will stretch out into the end of time ?

As i said in another thread, original A-2's were a relatively cheap jacket back in the day.

Enjoy your jackets in good health as the saying goes.

 

[jeremiah]

what do you mean by "touching the jacket I buy..."?

 

[Officer Dibley]

what do you mean by "touching the jacket I buy..."?

I said it earlier in this thread Jeremiah: after years of buying more than 30 jackets, i will now only buy if i can have the actual jacket in my hands. I won't buy off a photo of a jacket or a generic photo of a jacket as is usually the case and how i used to buy. There is so much more to a jacket than appearance. I think it unlikely i will ever buy new again either. Partly cost (even for a Platon !) and partly that despite appearance, i can never quite tell what a jacket will look like once broken in. And to break a jacket in, you have to wear it lots- which you can't do if you have a heap of jackets. Or at least i can't.
My preference, nothing more, and i am sure many have bought and been happy.
