Good Wear Type A-2: J.A. Dubow MFG. Co. Russet Goatskin Contract 27798

[jonesy86]

My jacket collection is benefitting from a lot of dumb luck, and I cannot begin to pretend that I know much about the details of this jacket, but the russet Indian goatskin is very slightly heavier and thicker than the Horween horsehide of my GW Hercules. I am told it has all accurate details to the contract including reproduction M-42 Talon with vintage Talon slider, vintage United-Carr snaps in the pockets, and correct lining, knits, and thread color.

I really like the shape of the pockets, color of the purple-brown knits, and of course the shape of the collar. I think it may be my best fitting jacket and it is very comfortable.

Another win for this guy!!?

That goatskin is as nice as I've seen. Very nice acquisition

Now that is a hell of a beautiful A2 Jonesy and the kind of fit you dream of.

Fantastic jacket, no matter which forum one sees it on !

Jonesy, this preface looks a bit questionable considering your latest acquisitions, doesn't it?))

I love this contract. I was really torn between it and the 20960, but went with the latter in the end because it's a slightly trimmer fit. Tragically, they are rather more-ish, *eyes Good Wear list* So, how does a re-sprayed Acme 21996 sound?...

I am still figuring out what I got. [emoji6]
