You are now admiring another one of myfine USN jackets I recently reproduced. In this case a size 44 Bogen & Tanenbaum AN-6552. As an avid vintage jacket enthusiast I both restore and reproduce jackets like seen here in this listing. All the jackets that I reproduced were painstakingly & expertly patternedusing jackets from my personal collection. In this case, it is an accurate reproduction of a classy looking late War USN favorite of mine.This B&T AN-6552jacket offered hereis absolutely brand new and has never been worn.
An original but just smaller size Bogen and Tanenbaum flight jacket from my collection was used to come up with this now most accurate pattern design. Made with very appealing vegetable tanned aniline dyed goat hide I specially sourced from France. Much like those seen originally if not even nicer. This hide used approximates 1 MM or better that is auniform thickness throughout. This puts this jacket in a mediumweight class. This jacket’s goat hide exhibits a very soft hand by and as a result break in will be minimal.
As seen, this brown in color with just enough luster & shine to emulate those original jackets. Furthermore, this hide has a pleasing grain which nicely compliments this jacket. As a result it looks stunning! Being a late war jacket it was stitch using like era nylon thread. On the inside, this particular jacket’s lining is also a same rayon as original.
For closure & to give the jacket a even more complete authenticity a late War NOS & absolutely correct blackened Conmar zipper assembly was added. All buttons are vintage & button holes done with a keyhole button hole type machine as per original.
This jacket being late War was stitched using a like nylon thread as found on that original jacket used to pattern this reproduction. The lining material sourced for this jacket is a viscose rayon and quite nearly the same in every way as found on those original, As are the 100% wool rib rack single ply mid brown knits. The mouton collar comes from a well preserved same period garment.
As for the fit, this particular jacket was built to best fit someone close to 6’ and approximately 200 lbs. Please note, this is a true mil spec jacket. Because it was patterned exactly form an original it fits semi snug & has limited gut room. Please keep in mind that I can build another size jacket that might make a better match for any particular body type.
