That is one beautiful jacket. There's something about vintage leather. Is it because it's old that it looks so great or was the leather just better in the old days?

This is one beautiful Dubow. If it had it's label it would have sold quickly for your BIN price. Unless an A2 is from a rare contract, is painted or has a special provenance the absence of spec label devalues it by around 30%. Good luck with the auction.
