Type A-2: Werber Sportswear
This jacket is a reproduction of a Werber Sportswear 42-1402-P contract A-2. This was their last A-2 contract of five, with
the earliest being in 1933, then 1936, 1938, 1939 and finally this contract in 1941. The Werber design is form-fitting and athletic,
with wide shoulders (and long epaulets). The body is trim, and sometimes a bit short, proportionately. We have used four originals
for patterns, and most were a bit short in the body, and one was of normal proportions.
Just as seen on Perry Sportswear's A-2, the Werber design has a large gap in the top stitching of the pocket flaps and collar, which
only goes through two layers of leather. Most jackets from this contract are made with dark russet horsehide, though
three examples used by Good Wear to create this pattern were of a darker brown shade of horsehide. We will soon have photos of both shades.
Details of this contract:
- usually dark russet horsehide
- slender torso that is sometimes short
- collar stand
- long and thin epaulets
- large-gap top stitching around flaps and collar
- pockets positioned far from the zipper
- pocket body with square re-enforcing stitching
- dull orange lining and dull brown thread color
- ball stud snaps
- mid-brown knits
- usually Crown zippers are seen
This jacket looks quite sharp and the form-fitting design is athletic.
