Looks like it's a jacket to dye for. :roll:

Could this be one of LW's Frankenjackets?

This jacket could only look OK, at a New Years Eve Ball, with black shirt, white tie, and black pants, with white gloves, or with red pants and blue shirt, or blue pants with a red shirt on the 4th of July. Possibly a jazz musician, might look OK.

Or like someone said, a pimp outfit.

Anyone care to make a guess what company made this, or does Dubow company still exist?

I think Ben got it right. Looks like one of Lost Worlds' occasional "specialty" offerings.

Lost Worlds claims to have produced many of these oddballs for foreign orders. Why would anyone buy it? I wouldn't hazard a guess. :lol:

Stu Clurman was probably the world's only source for cream-colored horsehide. That and the Dubow label tell me it's an LW all right.

jaguar46: as a jazz musician myself, I can promise you no such person would be caught dead in this jacket. It was no doubt intended for hopeless Japanese scenesters. Or possibly for a select group of fellas in Manhattan whose appreciation of fine leather goes a little...uh...further than the typical VLJer's.

Yes, likely intended for the Japanese market, though not sure why the need to add the word "hopeless" - a Japanese "scenester" could actually probably carry that off.

The japanese give us William Gibson and that is what gets sent back.

Good point, except presumably they asked for it. :lol:

I can see some guy wearing that up on Broadway in Seattle.
