Onwards to a better BK

[jeremiah]

Thanks. Video shows maybe a better lighting. In sunlight it’s pretty vibrant and mottled here and there.

Jeremiah, look at that BK Dubow (just have noticed on eBay), looks like your size:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/WWII-Dubow...869977?hash=item286945bd59:g:BwUAAOSwMWpbsSO5
Nice grain, wrinkles etc., seems to have a lot of character in this leather.

 

[jeremiah]

Yeah saw it. I am jacket broke though

Too nice Dubow to just pass by. So much character and charisma in its leather. Look at its chest area above pockets, at its sleeves, at its back. That leather looks fantastic! So much nice grain and texture on it. Very like it, but its size 38 is too small to me. It looks quite similar to some their old batches of Victory HH, possibly even better than some Victory HH (it depends on the batch, but this particular one on eBay looks just gorgeous!).

 

[jeremiah]

Yeah price is right too. My birthdays in May boys.

Lebowski. I made this video for you. This shows I think a more similar look of the jacket to the photos. Sun is pretty bright so not the overcast so it shows a little darker and lighter in some spots. But it’s close.

Well, I enjoyed it as well! What would (normal) people think of us, watching videos like this?!?

 

[jeremiah]

Well I know I am anything but normal. I attribute some of that to the fumes. I sure enjoy it though. It’s sort of like doing a painting.

Gorgeous video, many thanks Jeremiah!
If only it would have been in size 42 - Sir, I'd buy it from you immediately to let you buy one more BK Dubow from eBay now))
Seriously, both look absolutely amazing. But yours is actually amazing a little bit more to my taste)

 

[jeremiah]

Yeah I like the aged russet. I decided to call this color ancient acorn.

Nice!
I'd also call that color like "Jeremiah's antique russet brown" HH.

Pretty cool comparison pic to the original aero Greg loaded up on forum.
Here is his pic and below it is a pic of my re dyed dubow. The leather as well as color seems to be a close match.

You should start a little side business taking people’s old A2’s and refinishing them like this Dubow. Seriously I think you’d do well for yourself.

 

[jeremiah]

I think Evan is sending me his BR for a slight color change.

Redskin A2

 

[jeremiah]

yeah, I think the Aeros had some oxidation of the leather going on as well as the color of the hide and the dye used to combine for that reddish hue going on with them.

I totally agree

Nicely done Jeremiah!!
You’ve got this technique down pretty well.

 

[jeremiah]

Thanks. I love the AAF rondel and I felt like it was going to sit in my closet forever. I figure I’d like it more on the shoulder.
