Unknown Reproduction Heavy Goatskin A-2 Jacket, Size 42--Great Shape

I will be listing a number of my jackets in an effort to pare down the jacket armoire.

This is an odd jacket. I don't know who made it since it is missing the tag, although there is a size 42 tag in the lower part of the liner. The jacket is extremely heavy goatskin, like Lost Worlds heavy. The epaulets are correctly sewn of two pieces of leather, the side seam faces the "correct" direction, it has a collar stand, the collar clip is chrome, but riveted with brass for some odd reason. It has Scoville snaps and a brass Talon straight pull zipper. The pockets are Dubow large. The oddest thing about the jacket is that the liner is nylon, not cotton. Clearly it is a repro and not a perfectly executed one from an accuracy standpoint, but the jacket is built as well as the L.W. Dubow. I don't know if Stuart ever contractedout to someone, but the similarlites are there.


The cuffs are the originals and in fine shape, but an abomination of folded over single weave. I will include your choice of either light brown or reddish (ala Aero) berry cuffs from the preferred eBay repro supplier to make it a little more accurate.


The jacket is in overall very good shape--leather is fantastic with the only real flaw to the finish being the wear area on the sleeve that has been colored in with a shade darker.


It is a great starter jacket and looks reasonably accurate at 20 feet. It is a great jacket to wear. If you have an art project and don;t want to change a $700 jacket, this would be a great one to experiment on.


The jacket is tagged as a size 42 but fits a little larger, probably a modern 42 and it is slightly larger than my Platon 44.


Pit to Pit 22 1/2 inches

Shoulder to end of Cuff (along curve) 25 inches

Center of Collar Stand to Bottom of Waistband 25 inches

Shoulders 18 1/2 inches

Wind flap 22 inches


$135 shipped. Shipping within the US will be via USPS Priority Mail, International shipping will also be via USPS Priority Mail for the exact cost.
