Looking at the Lost Worlds' examples,

You might as well look at an Avirex or schoot! Lost World's Dubow epaulets are ALL buggered up- nothing like an original Dubow. Most 27798s had epaulets like those in the two examples above- fat.

The original late-war contract Dubow I had last year had those fat epaulets as well, I'm assuming it was a feature that carried across most if not all their contracts.

Here it is as worn on the temple.

Not to be rainin' on your parade (jacket looks awesome) but those sleeves seem a little too long or am I wrong?

Point of order -- he brought it up, I didn't.

Nonetheless, I like the hide. Maybe there's a hot water treatment planned?

Nice as it is that jacket ain't a ww pattern. Or maybe it's the Robocop stance.

Tranquility Base,

I wish you wouldn't sugarcoat things so much and just come right out and tell us what you think!

I don't know how authentic the pattern is, but I'm a long limbed 48, too. Jacket looks damned good to my inexpert eyes.

Sleeves will ride up with a bit of wear and creasing. Should be fine.

Amazing goatskin, A-1.
A bit too much shoulder droop and I'd say the sleeves are a bit long but they will set in and wrinkle up a bit. I'm only pointing this out because non-GW jackets really get lambasted for shoulder droop.

good point.........point taken.........touche'...........i'm sure there must be an xplanation for the phenomenon..............

That's thee nicest Dubow repro I've seen yet!

Busshit! Mine is!! :twisted:

Phantastic looking leather Clark, if I wasn't such a phan of HH and watching the breakin happen I would definitely buy a Goat. It will be interesting to see how it ages. I presume the pattern is pretty much like mine being a 48, and I was initially worried about the sleeve shape having plenty of room, but after a week they had moulded and deflated and now they're perfect. Enjoy it!!

 

[Chandler]

Deflated?

Can you expound?

I've owned a goatskin jacket for well over twenty years now, and after all that time and hard wear, the sleeves have not creased. At least not in an accordion type of way that would shorten the sleeve length. It has however seemed to shrink a bit around the belly area.
