Kelso 10008-P quick review.

[Tattoo A2]

I had a little time off to take a few photos of my new Cable 10008-P I just got from Kelso and also took a few photos of my original for comparison. Im not great with typing my thoughts but figured I would share with you all. I really love the new jacket and have no complaints. My original is goatskin, but I have seen them in horsehide also. Heres a quickie to look at...

As you can see the snaps are different than my original, stitching isnt as exact on the epaulettes and bottom by zipper, but the shot inside the original pocket shows how close the new russet is on the new Cable not be 80 years old like the original. I think Burt or someone had an original that was posted on here somewhere.

Heres some fit picks. the new jacket has a really nice grain and is breaking in perfect.

They REALLY nailed the collar profile on that one. Lovely jacket!

the fit is outstanding. of note, the cable contracts used all kinds of different snaps [nipple, small ring] and zippers comars, kwiks, and even talons on some] not to mention as you noted, some of the 10008-p jackets were made of hh as against goat. from what I have seen of or have owned, the cables were all over the place regarding their hardware and hides. they were one of the more forgiving contracts size wise, and comfort wise.

That’s really nice mate, a great fit and the colour is really close to the original as per the open pocket image.
It’s good to see you posting again

Very nice, I assume you went for the Russet HH and changed the thread colour?

I went for medium brown knits and thread and the russet color since both my original Cables are of that tone.

Yeah Jan the collar is as close as you can get it.

That’s a great looking cable . Now you can wear that one without worrying about doing damage to that original . Nice find Bro.

Thank you for the review, I am actually talking to them about a Cable. It really helps to see pics of a new one versus and original. Problem is I really want it in russet goat, which I don't believe they have. Your jacket looks great!

Best,
