It's actually the Limited Edition Eight Belles' Commerative A-2.

Fitting end for a fabulous competitor.

As we say in show business, break a leg.

Great jacket in a size which will appeal to many. Now if it had been a 42 or 44 I might have been interested.

John made this one as per an original. The majority of 18246s I have seen on ebay (not many) seem to be more of a russet shade. I assume this is an example of an original contract with varying shades of brown???

Rob,

Here is a photo of WWII AAF fighter/bomber pilot Bill Getz wearing the 42-18246-P contract A-2 that he was issued after finishing flight training. You can compare it to John's example.
