Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:49998622Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
Original/Reproduction: Original
Original Description:
This is an original 1941 Dubow from their first contract with number w 535-ac-20960, the only Dubow contract featuring a collar stand. This pre war contract was made in limited quantities and its jackets are by any measure, quite rare (first one I see in 12 years of collecting). The jacket is in overall very nice condition. It has a theater made silk embroidered flying tiger patch of the 14th AF on the front left chest, which alone is a work of art, and a silk US flag on the back. It i...ncludes also what appears to be Major ranks sewn on the epaulets. The tiger patch is in very good condition, but the flag is a bit frail. The shell, liner and all other components of the jacket are intact and work. The lining is in exceptionally good condition for the age of the jacket. The knits have some small holes but are in very good condition considering the age of the jacket. The zipper is a Crown chevron type as was common for this contract. The cotton tape has a little cut near the top as shown in the photo but otherwise the zipper works OK. Both the knits and zipper are original to the jacket. All snaps and collar hooks and vent holes are present and work. The leather is solid and pliable and has only suffered discoloration due to age. The original russet color can still be seen under the collar and at the back of the storm flap. There is a pocket size tag under the right pocket flap. The woven size tag under the spec label reads size 42, but the jacket would fit as a modern day size 40. It measures as follows:
