GW Dubow 27798 in new HH ready!

[better duck]

Gents,

John just emailed me to tell me that my Dubow 27798 in his new HH is ready! I already tried to upload the pics he sent me to Photobucket and on to this post, but I get an "Error 404" message there, so without any pics for now. I'll update as soon as I can. And of course pictures of me wearing it will follow too in due course! I'm one anxious little fellow, lying in wait for the mailman to arrive next week!

You are a lucky Duck! :lol:

Looking forward to seeing the shots Peter, this is one I may also be ordering next year.

Hi Peter, Your new Dubow looks fantastic assuming the link below is to your jacket. Here are the pics posted by JC on 17th August.

The new hh looks amazing, Peter. BTW what sort of zip does it have, an original or one of John's repros?

Yeh, the hh looks great, doesn't it! As for the zip: I asked for and got an NOS Talon.

I'd be very happy with that, the uppper left (as you look at it) shoulder looks greaat...

Roughly how long from ordering to delivery?

February '09 - next week No problem for me, as I've grown to appreciate any period waiting for something as part of the fun (and I even didn't (yet) study Zen

Well, I'd take into account that he is getting more and more succesfull (read: busy), even more so after Red Tails opens (when is that sceduled?)..... Well, according to my philosophy on this, that only means even more lots of joyeous time, waiting for your (self administered) present!

 

[Andrew]

Dave, we all know John's not in this for the money, so that shouldn't be a problem

... And Peter, considering today is my birthday I'm going to give myself that present! I've alwys liked to think that things would slow down for JC coming out of the new year leaving time to have one made for our cooler months but it's never been the case.

Hot damn that is a good looking jacket. I already have 2 GWs and have my eye on a third... probably a Dubow, maybe in seal.

Nice jacket - the nearest I've got is my recently arrived JC cd! Fantastic - no 296!!
Viewing that, or some of it, and seeing these pics is not helping matters - my desire for a Goodwear (Doniger probably) is ever growing!!!!!

PS anyone thinking of parting with a 42 GD Doniger in Goat then please let me know!!
