About This Jacket:

This Real McCoys New Zealand A-2 is a copy of the 27798 Dubow contract. The size is 52, though RMNZ didn't have a 52 number, so 50 was used. The label is not accurate in design as the label would have the size number directly sewn onto it. On the front of the jacket you can see the difference that hot water technique makes. The viewer's left side is before, and right is after. The grain and texture of the goatskin is fabulous. The back and sleeves are a bit large for the jacket, but overall it looks good. The zipper is a real post-WWII Conmar, but should be a WWII bell-shaped version. I was able to have Chuck Yeager sign the lining.
