hey,Anonymous,I have your answer you think the same as me! I am making triple v-stitch bombers in full grain 3-5 oz cowhide ( I have a closet full of original double goose country/adam spencer jackets (8 or them)and trust me they WILL be made exactly to original specs as the Korean originals and more reasonable prices!!!

I inspected one or the new double goose jackets in the LES in Delancey Street and was a little dissapointed- I guess my standards are too high for the prices they are asking for.

Unlike the new french (double goose guys),I have a background in fur and leather upholstery
And I agree,lambskin even calf leather is too delicate for making a durable down filled jacket.
I also think these new double goose jackets are WAY too expensive-these guys are trying to get rich by taking advantage on a hiphop fashion iconic style and their color selection sucks

Trust me-within a year,these "double goose" french guys are going to get some competition including over 20 colors to choose from (standard,no extra charge and much better value for your dollars,more afordable)
Just remember 3 words "LEATHER GOOSE CUSTOM"
my brand!

Theres an original 80s leather goose in medium on ebay for a 100 bucks. Its from dead stock and has never been worn. Its the same patern as Double Goose and made in Korea. I bought the Large and its very nice.

Good work Freddy, that has saved you some bucks! As you say these jackets were everywhere back in the day, people took them for granted. Now everyone wants a piece.

It's great to see an iconic Hip Hop item make a return. And it'd cold here in London right now, perfect for a DOUBLE GOOSE. Stay warm, look fresh!

I just finished making one from thick cowhide. I'm getting the hang of this. I'm going to take a walk around my old Bronx neigborhood and see if anybody notices...LOL. Back in the 80s, the jacket was everywhere. Back then I did'nt think much of the jacket because it was everywhere. A few years ago I started looking but could'nt find anything. Thats when the obsession started. I'm not the only one.

I checked out the new Double Gooses at the pop up store. The jackets are'nt as good as the originals. The new ones are made from lambskin and seem to have less goose fill. Lambskin rips easy too. Cowskin would be better and with more goose down. Also, the stitching on the arms, cuffs and waistband is different than the original. Its still nice to see the jacket making a comeback though. Maybe more designers will emerge with another version closer to the original.

Those jackets are OFFICIAL!!! I've always loved those jackets back in the dayz and they're still as fresh as day one!! One of my highlights while in London was seeing you walk into the club with that jacket, that took me back into time and had me reminiscing still to this day. Damn what I wouldnt do to bring back that era!!
