Platon Dubow seal?

Whilst it isn't a competition (is it ?), i appreciate you being the willing guinea pig for the rest of us. Your jacket and your opinion of it will affect who will get my next order for an A-2. Your "fussiness" means if you are reasonably happy with it, i'll be ecstatic :D

I don't consider myself a 'guinea pig' at all. Platon has an established reputation for being quite passionate regarding the minute details of whichever jacket he takes interest in. Given that he worked with BK for quite some time on top of that fact, it's not a far stretch to imagine that his concentration on a single, specific A-2 contract on his own would equate to nothing less than outstanding results. :) Fast forward to seeing the completed sample on his site, Jaunito's excellent review of one in russet, a positive eBay feedback from another person, and now, a pic of the seal sample he's using for his pattern, and the question is, why in the world would you want to wait and see mine, and read my opinion to make a purchase decision? ;)

EDIT:

Whilst it isn't a competition (is it ?)

You seem to have a penchant for reading into things not as they are, at least when it comes to my thoughts / intentions.. The topic of this thread is about Platon's seal choice for his jackets not being seen to date..

I merely meant that since it was likely that my jacket should be along this month, the mystery would be solved regarding the color soon, when I post pics.. I haven't read of anyone else in this thread except for Juanito having a seal on the way, and I ordered mine awhile before his.. Now that a pic of the seal sample has been shown, it's kind of a moot point anyhow..

Probably not ordering myself as I need a longer back than the 25 1/4" on the biggest size, 48.

Ordered mine on Aug. 18th, a bit after @Technonut2112. Wonder if he's got the jacket or not? I've emailed Platon last Friday for an estimate but he has not replied my inquiry yet. I'm sure he's doing his best to get the seal Dubow jackets out.

That’s no good. Did you check your spam filter? I once thought I was getting the stink eye from Andy and here somehow or another I had inadvertently sent his emails to the spam forest.
