SOLD Cable A-2 46
SOLD Cable A-2 46
The Cable Raincoat company was issued a contract by the U.S. Army in January of 1942 for 10,000 “Jacket-Flying, Type A-2”. The original jackets were made in both horsehide and goatskin and featured either Conmar or Kwick zippers with a cotton liner and wool knits. The A-2 was the beginning of the “Bomber Jacket” style which has remained incredibly popular for over 70 years due to it’s comfort, practicality, and classic style.
This is a test jacket size 46 in russet goatskin. The jacket features a Conmar zipper, press snaps, cotton twill lining and Cable Raincoat Company label. The A-2 has light wear with a few snags in the waist knit that have been mended. This would fit best on someone 5’8” to 6’1”. I am 6’ and 205 lbs in the pics.
