Dubow 27798

Presenting the 1942 Contract A-2 Jacket from J. A. Dubow Mfg. Co., one of Chicago’s most esteemed A-2 jacket houses, renowned for their impeccable craftsmanship and historic legacy.

The Dubow 27798 is instantly recognizable by its signature collar and the distinctive large square military-specification label, complete with size designation. Beyond its elegantly sculpted collar, the jacket features exquisitely curved and pointed pocket flaps, paired with commanding X-box epaulets—a masterclass in period design. Tailored with a slim, athletic silhouette, the jacket balances a slightly narrow back with broader upper sleeves, ensuring exceptional wearability without compromising style.

Originals were meticulously crafted in seal or russet horsehide, with some variations in supple goatskin. Our reproduction honors every nuance, delivering a faithful, museum-quality interpretation.

The piece on display is rendered in Liberty Russet Horsehide, complemented by a rich tobacco-brown lining, dull purple knits and finely matched olive-drab stitching, epitomizing the fusion of historical authenticity and artisanal excellence.

Every stitch, curve, and detail of this jacket has been painstakingly recreated by our master artisans, ensuring absolute fidelity to the original. From the shaping of the collar to the precision of the epaulets, each element is executed with care and devotion. This is not merely a jacket—it is a lifelong companion, a collectible heirloom, a piece of history you will treasure for decades.
