This is a listing for one set (pair of cuffs and waist knits) of by-fold knits & correct for a USAA WW-2 era J.A. Dubow A-2 type flight jackets. These particular knits are a dull purple/brown in color & 100% wool. Correct in both horizontal & vertical dimensions for any size (36-50) War era A-2 flight jacket.
These particular knits were made here in the USA & ordered by me to my specifications to be used for both my restorations or new builds. The wool used to make these knits have a long fiber. Therefore a great quality and as such non itchy, will not pill & something to appreciate. Unlike many other jacket knits in which I had the misfortune to have encountered in the past. Exactly why I specifically created these offered here to be used for either my new builds or restoration projects.
Most notably, in this case I matched my original J.A Dubow jacket's knits in both color and construction type. As you see in that last pic these knits match that original color perfectly. All prior I was unable to find any suitable from my restoration work. In addition, my cuffs were specifically created to duplicate that same shaped cuffs originally used by J.A. Dubow. Not the usual conical shaped cuff and incorrectly configured to configuration generally seen available. Among the descriptive pix I've included some pix of a original J.A. Dubow A-2 jacket that maintain its original knits to illustrate.
Most notably, that original jacket and all those original jackets that I have seen that maintain their original cuffs do not have much in the way of reveal. That example seen more than likely shows no more than 2 1/2" to 2 3/4" of reveal. Exactly what you are going to find with my knits.
Please note that the last photo in the descriptive images is a pic of my Good Wear Monarch A-2. Shown as a color comparison for these same knits offered here and the Monarch's a mid brown color knits.
Since these unique style of color of purplish brown colored colored knits were supplied to me through a minimum order I now have slightly more knit sets than I will need for the foreseeable future. You are welcome to a set while they last!
Most notably & as an avid vintage jacket collector, restorer and maker I took it upon myself to I have created the best quality, most accurately duplicated replacement knits available for mil spec jackets that were made between 1939 and 1965. So check out my other knits I have made available as needed!
