Ja Dubow 27798 (Platon) A-2 jacket review and pics

[B-Man2]

The glue no matter how good and clear it may be at this time will become cloudy and yellow over the years. Talk to ELC and have them take care of this . You’ve spent a lot of money for a new jacket, this shouldn’t happen .

Is this normal as well??

One side is longer than other when i fully zip the jacket

Probably as authentic as them lining up. No real WW2 airman would have noticed nor cared. Aero call it “Real Deal”

 

[B-Man2]

Jeez.....I mean ... what do you guys expect for only $1,700 .

It doesnt really bother me at all but still i noticed considering the price i paid looking for a good reason for ELC make me a really good discount on my next purchase haha

 

[Serghei87]

If it is an error from their side and not a perfect creation of originals ones, i think ELC should compensate me in someway

Careful or Gary will send you a picture of a non aligned original jacket and ask you for more money as it’s a feature of an Original Maker jacket

He’s got a point!!
Cant disagree with that.

I'd contact Rob at Eastman. Send clear pics of the issues and kindly as for feedback.
It may seem like little things to some, but for that kind of money, it should not have these issues. This is not an AVI or 5 Star, or Real Deal for that matter.

Blimey! I think you got the Friday afternoon jacket and no mistake! Send it back. You seem like a very nice person and may find picking this up with ELC daunting. But their customer service is great and you shouldn’t have to put up with the build quality that your albeit untypical jacket is exhibiting. It’s just the glue thing that worries me...

Oh my goodness, yes they say that renders it non-returnable. I would still raise the rapidly deteriorating patches and mis-matched collar alignment with them though. Also, if you paid using a credit card you may have some recourse or insurance through that too.

 

[Officer Dibley]

Having custom work does not absolve ELC from sub standard work or materials.
They make enough profit to be able to replace without going out of business !!

 

[Serghei87]

I will contact Rob on facebook and will keep you posted on this matter. I am very curious to see what will be their response
