Folks,
I received today an excellent repro that is neither a Goodwear nor an Eastman
and realizing that wearing something other than those two brand names may result in severe ostracization on this list, I nonetheless declare my joy in being the proud owner of a Lost Worlds Dubow that not only fits like a glove, but has "the look." Great hide, nice fit, lovely "creaky" sound, good texture. I found it on Ebay last week and paid the grand sum of $308 USD. I was very fortunate to find it and get it for such a great price (note: if the seller is a member of this list, thank you again!). Tag says 48 but it's more like a 44 Eastman RW 1401.
Photos are posted at the link below, and if anyone on this list knows how to make those pics appear on this page, I'd sure appreciate it if you could make that happen or explain to me yet again how to do it. It just seems not to work for me!

I can have better photos in a few weeks. I'm pretty much confined to a wheelchair right now with a broken foot, but I should be up and around again by the first of the month. I set my self timer and hobbled into the zone of focus just as the shutter tripped. Another question, and as my education is in photography I feel somewhat embarrassed asking, but how do you guys get such nice color in your jacket photos? This is actually an acceptable russet but looks very dark in these photos. These were taken with available light (mixture of incandescent and fluorescent), no flash, about 1600 ISO.
Cheerio!
