Today, I picked up my Diamond Dave/Diamond Clothing Co. Cable A-2 in size 46. I'll post a few photos as a teaser and then write a full review tomorrow as time allows. These are the photos Diamond Dave sent me. I'll post my own shortly.
Here were my requirements:
1) Cannot be goatskin (the pebbly finish is just not my thing), but I didn't care whether it was steerhide or horsehide--I gave up caring about that a while ago. I can't tell the difference, can you?
2) Must be true to the Cable pattern--no "customization" or tailoring, or artificial aging. The jacket needed to be "off the peg."
I had an original Cable, size 42, about 20 years ago and it fit me like it was tailored for me. I was looking for that, although I have admittedly put on about 20 pounds since then and I wanted to err on the larger end as I tend to wear a sweatshirt under my jackets.
We talked a couple of times about what I was looking for, sent him my measurements, and less than 2 weeks later I had the jacket--UNBELIEVABLE SERVICE!
