Good Wear J. A. Dubow 1755 A-2 Jacket
Price: $775.00 (lightly used condition) — note shipping costs below
Fit: comfortable in the right size

Lining: chestnut cotton
Knits: Dubow dull purple wool
Thread: mid-brown cotton
Zipper: reproduction blackened M-43 Talon
Size: 44

This jacket is going to be the web site model of the Dubow 1755 contract. This contract was pruduced in 1944, one of three late-war contracts that supported a need for smaller A-2 jackets. Most of the originals that we've seen are sizes 34-40, though larger sizes have been seen by some. The other two contractors were Perry Sportswear and Bronco Mfg. Corp.

The leather of this jacket is Horween's thinner horsehide, veg-tanned in a seal brown shade. This is like a good percentage of vintage A-2s, with a softer drape and not overly thick leather. Originals and historic photos give evidence that this was far more common than thicker, stiffer leather.

The other details of this jacket are excellent reproductions of originals of this contract. We have blackened brass M-43 Talons, which have a plain brass slider and gilded retainer. The pocket snaps are vintage NOS United Carrs, and the thread is a mid-brown shade, as originals had.

With the Dubow 27798 contract, we see a dull purple knit color used, and this subsequent contract has this shade as well.

This jacket has about five hours of very light wear in it, and will make a superb jacket right out of the box.

This jacket will ideally fit a person who is 5'10" to 6'1", with a chest circumference of 42-44", and weight of 190-210 pounds.
