Introducing the 1942 A-2 Jacket, Contract 27752 by Rough Wear Clothing Co., the esteemed Middletown, Pennsylvania manufacturer and a key supplier to the U.S. Army during WWII. This jacket marks Rough Wear’s final A-2 contract of the era, a piece steeped in military heritage and historic distinction.

Originals were predominantly crafted in Seal horsehide, with occasional russet variants. Signature details include the refined collar with collar stand, gracefully curved pocket flaps, and the muted orange lining, all complemented by olive-drab stitching. Its unmistakable silhouette embodies the classic trim fit of military uniforms, balancing structure and comfort with timeless precision.

Our reproduction represents la crème de crème of modern reproductions, the closest possible match to the original ever achieved, executed with painstaking attention to every detail. The jacket on display is rendered in Victory Horsehide Seal, featuring a muted orange lining and medium-brown stitching, exemplifying historical fidelity and enduring craftsmanship—a true collector’s piece designed to be cherished for a lifetime.
