There’s an old saying in the U.S. ..........”Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while”
Well, I can definitely relate to that statement. This is the Dubow 1755 Combat Clone that was most recently on JC’s website being offered for sale. I’ve been a fan of the dark seal Dubow A2 ‘s for quite sometime, particularly the 1755 contract with the faded purple knits. A friend of mine and a forum member, Brian (Saucerfiend) told me that this jacket might be available in the near future. I won’t bore you guys with the ins and outs of the deal, but I was able to purchase this beauty and I couldn’t be more happier with it. The fit is very trim and I might have to loose a pound or two to make it a spot on fit, but that’s a small problem to contend with to get one of your bucket list jackets. Most of all I want to shout out a thank you to JC and Brian for making this all possible. Thanks guys!!
The photos of the zipper and the orange lining are all period correct for this jacket, as verified in Gary Eastman’s A2 book. Please feel free to post comments or likes and dislikes.
