Cable Raincoat Co. of Boston. That’s their no-name contract. Year would be 1942. Contract issued at the end of April and completed in September.

thank you very much, it is not very widespread as a jacket apparently. .

Hi
You are correct in that it’s not widespread as it’s an 80 year old military issued WWII flight jacket . Is that what you were referring to or did I completely misread your post ?

it is not very widespread as a jacket apparently.

Maybe not frequently reproduced by companies today, but it was a contract for 50,000 jackets, which places it among the largest A-2 contracts.

Here's John Chapman's repro, for comparison:

Salut
Vous avez raison de dire qu'il n'est pas répandu car il s'agit d'une veste de vol de la Seconde Guerre mondiale datant de 80 ans. C'est à ça que tu fais référence ou ai-je complètement mal lu ton post ?

I just wanted to know because I did not know this contract at all for an a2

Ok I understand … thanks for your response.

Peut-être pas fréquemment reproduit par les entreprises aujourd'hui, mais il s'agissait d'un contrat de 50 000 vestes, ce qui le place parmi les plus gros contrats A-2.
