one you dont see too often

here ya go, guys. an original 1941, 1st contract dubow, in a size 42. it has an interesting silk [unfinished raw silk] tiger chest patch, and silk us flag blood chit. no info on the original owner above and beyond that he made rank, by virtue of the leather shoulder patches. the jacket is completely wearable, except for the blood chit which is quite fragile, and shows fraying.

Amazed by the dept of you collection. Whats not to like about this jacket..look at that leather.

Dorky comment but I like the white stitch line going across the label and back from the patch. Those singular details get to me.

Thank you for sharing it's eye candy.

That’s a real beauty!!
I love those purple brown knits on that contract.
If that could talk what a story it could tell.!
Cheers
