Looks good to me Burt, I told you about my original Perry, right pocket flap was sewn nearly two inches overlap towards the right side, gives it character, agreed, perfection isn't always a sign of origina lYeah looks that way but it’s not really a problem as original war time production jackets had pocket flaps that weren’t always exact matches . Many had little wonky and mismatched features This actually makes the jacket look a little like the originals did .
Incidentally Burt, long fiesta here till Tuesday, just come back from the supermarket, Czech beer run, just wore a t-shirt and jeans, apart from early morning late at night, jackets are out hereYeah looks that way but it’s not really a problem as original war time production jackets had pocket flaps that weren’t always exact matches . Many had little wonky and mismatched features This actually makes the jacket look a little like the originals did .

Here's a picture with both pockets visible.
One could argue, see slight difference between the two. I'm happy as is and as mentioned, period correct.
i really like fivestar's med brown goatskin, mistreat this jacket will become lovely
Haha old goat, wife says the new Japanese horsehide jacket smells also, said sure it's not my socks, she replied nope I remind you about them! Cheeky mare hahaWorking on it.
But yes, to each his own, but this jacket came out better than I expected.
Love the Dubow style, feels really nice wearing it, and that goatskin is pretty tough stuff.
Wife says "smells like an old goat", not sure if she means the jacket. Gotta ask first, update later.
That’s a fantastic looking jacket, love the relaxed fit and that hideSunday morning,
realizing it's a good thing I did not pursue that modeling career after all.
But in a best effort showing my brand new, out of the box, 5star goatskin Dubow 27798.
knits, stitching, all as requested.
Sun is out here, so ideal outerwear for a morning walk

That’s a great looking motorcycle jacket
it definitely will ...It was one of those chance opportunities Burt. I wasn't planning on selling it until someone asked.
It had become a closet queen for me, so when Thomas asked, I couldn't pass it up!
I hope it gets some more wear through Southwest Germany!
Yes, I wear it almost every day when the weather permits, but I applied a leather care product to my jacket a short time ago which gave it a bit of a shine.Hey looks still as good as new Pierre depending on how much you wore it since you got it, that's a proof of quality for AVI's jackets (besides the creases on the sleeves from breaking in of course)
