One of the best Dubow repros ever made, pattern, details, materials as good as you're going to get.
On par with any on the top end repro makers, better than some.

This jacket has it all. Leather has some great character, some areas smoother, some more grainy.
Some panels showing different hues. Some high points showing the russet below.

Hardly worn, mint, super clean.

Heres an opportunity to own a very unique jacket.
This is the only size 42 'long' ever made. It has about an 0.5" added to sleeves and body.
This is the only jacket like it in the world.

I requested this not long after they were first offered and Platon kindly agreed.
Unfortunately when I wanted to order a russet in the same, I was informed they could no longer do this. Regular sizes only.
Now, they are no longer available. Haven't been available in a while.
To replace this, you would need a Bill Kelso or Goodwear.


Italian Seal horsehide
100% Dubow dull purple knits (Perfect)
Correct olive drab thread
Top end Talon zipper (flawless)

Size 42
Measurements (approximate, see pics)
SHOULDERS - 18"
