No Name (Cable) 27753

A study in understated refinement, the A-2 Contract W535 AC-27753 by Cable Raincoat Co. of Boston, Massachusetts represents the final chapter in the maker’s contribution to USAAF flight gear, issued in 1942. Produced under an unsigned label, this contract reflects a quiet confidence—where function, balance, and durability converge with effortless elegance.

True to Cable’s heritage in robust outerwear, the 27753 pattern is defined by its slightly roomier, more accommodating silhouette and its clean, purposeful construction. Crafted originally in russet horsehide, the design is distinguished by its straight, rectangular pocket flaps, precise seam work, and an overall sense of restrained utility. Subtle yet telling details—such as the warm mustard-toned cotton lining, tonal brown wool knits, and small ring-type snaps—contribute to its unmistakable character. Period-correct hardware, including Conmar or Talon zippers, and the softly nuanced chestnut stitching complete the composition with quiet authenticity.

Celebrated for its comfort and effortless wearability, the Cable 27753 has earned its place among the most respected and collectible A-2 patterns—an enduring favorite for those who appreciate discretion over ostentation.

Our reproduction is executed with exacting precision, honoring every original detail while elevating the standard of craftsmanship. The piece displayed is rendered in Liberty Horsehide Russet, complemented by a rich mustard-brown lining, distinctive Perry purple stitching, and finished with original WWII NOS Baby Durable Snap Fasteners by United Carr—an exceptional garment where heritage, integrity, and timeless sophistication meet.
