Bill Kelso Dubow 1755 A-2 flight jacket Size 42 (40 or 41) NEW with Tags!!!

[Brettafett]

£750 plus postage PPFF

Size 42 (more like 40 or 41)

NEW with TAGS & certificates.
This has just been received and is 'right out the box'.
I am selling it as unworn, although I have tried it on and to take the fit photos.

All details exactly as per originals;
Seal Brown Liberty Horsehide
Dark Tan cotton lining
100% Wool Dull Purple knits
Mid Brown thread
Repro Vintage Brass Talon Zipper

Measurements approximate...
Shoulders - 17.5" to 17.75"
Pit to pit front - 21.75" to 22"
Pit to pit back - 21.75" to 22"
Sleeves curve - 26.5"
Back length - 24.5"

Fit is relative & subjective.
I am 5'10, 40" chest, 73kgs, average build.
This jacket feels OK, a bit on the trim side, especially in the shoulders (I have wide swimmers shoulders).
I would say it's more like a size 40 or 41.

Note: A newly ordered Bill Kelso jacket will set you back £1055, plus postage.
Plus, you’ll have to wait a questionable number of months, over a year in some cases (this particular jacket took 10 months to arrive).

Compare this jacket with Clayton Kelly Gross' 1755
(Read his epic bio.... Live Bait: WWII Memoirs of an Undefeated Fighter Ace)

Still for sale

 

[Brettafett]

Still available. Reasonable offers considered.
Brand new jacket, with tags from one of the very best and most authentic repro makers out there.

Due to requests, some comparison photos between the russet goatskin (27798) and the seal Liberty horsehide (1755).
They are close, but don't tell the whole story.
The russet goat is not quite as light and the liberty seal not as dark.

With the jacket open.
Im 1.81, 77kgs, 40" chest, broadish shoulders and average waist/ build.
Usually wear a 42 in originals and top end repros comfortably.
This jacket feels a tad trim and short for me.
It pulls in the back when I lift my arms and the sleeves ride back.
I can zip it up, but can't wear it comfortable, even with a t-shirt.
Zipper is insane!
