Ashland Sales & Service Co CWU Jackets ..Question?

[bn1966]

Does anyone know if Ashland Sales & Service Co made CWU flight jackets in any color other than the Tan? I've searched on e-bay but haven't seen any other than in the Tan. Thanks

Does it need to be Ashland? There are certainly a lot of CWU jackets out there in the usual olive green.

Thanks Deacon for raising that point. One of the problems I have found is that in any given size (I'm XL) there seems to be a difference in measurements and fit between manufacturers. Ashland came in slightly longer in the back & fairly broad across the shoulders. Ideally I would want a generous sizing in the XL. Has anyone any info on which manufacturers cut the CWU more generously?

Hmmm, I only ever had a few of the summer and the winter and they did tend toward the close fitting side. I'm afraid I can't be much help in the broader perspective on cut.

Wish I could be more help.
