GW Doniger-Any Jacket Owners here?

[veli1]

Hello guys,

I'm in process of ordering a GW Doniger jacket from Mr. Chapman. I contacted John with several e-mails and gave him my measurements (chest, waist etc.) but I need to know how do you - the jacket owners - like your Doni (sizing, knits, color etc.). I would love to see some pics of your Doniger if possible (front, back, side view), thanks.

Got one from him last Dec. It was a clone of my original 44 Doniger. Perfect fit great goatskin much like my original. Fantastic jacket.

Thanks guys,

and Andrew I like your Doniger very very much-color,knits,fit etc. I hope in a couple of months I would be a proud owner of a Doniger jacket.

I own Doniger #1, the first one made and it is an excellent fit and the goat is amazing, has been mistaken for an original on several occasions.

This is my jacket

Just snagged it and have been planning on doing a review. Was out of the country when it arrived and have been floored since - + it's in the 90's here so no chance of really wearing it until fall.

The fit is perfect and the jacket is amazing!!

Will try and get some photos together

Guys,

how do you prefer your A-2 (doniger) jacket? Trim/military cut especially in the arms,chest and shoulders or a blousy, oversized-baggier fit?

I'm 30 years old, 178cm(5.83 feet)tall, chest measaurement of 102 cm(40.15 inch),weigh about 78-80kg(171.96-176.36lbs). Let's be honest, I'm not a 19 years old fighter pilot (I think none of us here have the body mesurements of a WW2 airmen...) but i like trim military look/cut of the old jackets escpecialy A-2 and Navy jackets. So, any advice/tips regarding sizing and fit when ordering from John C. would be helpful, thanks.

Go with a baggier fit so you can still wear it when you're 60 - very few of us get thinner and lighter as we age.

I agree with you 100%. We're not "Flying Tigers" but I don't want something like this :lol:

I also own a GW Doniger, and it is without a doubt the finest repro A-2 I've ever owned. Well worth the wait.

Great Jacket!!! You won't be disappointed. It came a bit snug, I wore constantly (in the rain when I could) then it molded itself to my body and truly became "my" jacket.

Enjoy it!
