The best A-2 for the money available anywhere
(2016-02-10)
Delivery of my A-2 was very fast, in about a week. I'm extremely pleased witht his jacket. It's very well made, with all the features and detailing of a WWII-era A-2. Normally, I do not like cotton lining in a jacket, as I find them hard to slip on and off. But the brushed cotton lining (a feature of original A-2's) is so smooth the jacket slips on and off as easily as my polyester- lined G-1 jacket. The goatskin used is just the right weight, with nice grain. The cuffs and waist band are a very finely-woven wool. In short, you will find no finer A-2 for $150 anywhere.

Great Jacket For The Price
(2015-12-31)
After ordering one of these A-2 jackets, I found it to be a great value for the price. Dark chocolate goatskin. Very soft and pliable right out of the package. These are very close fitting jackets, as they were typically worn very fitting by the pilots and crews in WW II. You might want to even order one size larger than your regular size, for more room. No side hand warmer pockets as those were not authorized on the original jackets. Only the front snap down flap pockets. The Army brass felt that the soldiers keeping their hands in their pockets presented a very non military and sloppy appearance, so only the flap pockets were authorized. The lining is the proper rust colored cotton with leather hanging loop to hang the jacket on a hook. I doubt seriously if you will find a more correct or better A-2 jacket for the very reasonable price. Highly recommended.
