Lost World's Dubow copy has the strange characteristic that inadvertently Stewie makes almost accurate Dubow copy in the tiny sizes or back in time. This is a size 34:
It's not that bad! Pockets look a bit large but that's accurate as original jackets used the same pocket size for all sizes. (I think). The scalloping on the pockets is quite nice and the pockets are a bit different from each other- one smooth the other grained- like an original! The pockets on this small jacket are the correct spacing for a Dubow- not a weiird half mile between them. Stewie does pretty much get the collar shape right- but on his new jackets he uses thick leather which looks wrong- not like an original. The epaulets are also too narrow- Dubow would have use the same width for a 34 or a 44- these eps are too slimmed down.
Unfortunately a 44 jacket like I would need looks awful- its main and fatal flaw is that the pockets are waaaaay too far apart which doesn't look good worn. In my experience (in the 90s) the leather wore off to a darker tone which is just weird.
This guy suffers from the thin eps, probably that weird dark undercoated leather and the collar will never look right because the leather won't let it. So long story short- if you want a more accurate Dubow copy from Lost Worlds shrink yoursell to wear a 34 or 36... weird!
