Thanks Spitfire. Maybe I am trying to over complicate this! Your KISS (keep it simple stupid) answer makes a lot of sense. Now I just have to find a reasonably priced pair of A-10's. Dennis

Since it is getting colder out (at least where I live), I was wondering what gloves a pilot would have worn with his A2 jacket. Would the A10 be appropriate? If so, would the cuff be worn inside or outside of the jacket cuff? Thanks, Dennis

Mine is way darker than it appears on USA's websight. More of a chocolate brown I guess. The leather is just over 1mm thick. Not real thick, but thicker than I expected. It is thicker and softer than the Cooper it replaced. Dennis

I recently bought a US Authentic goat skin A2. I really like this jacket,the somewhat long fit seems to be right for me. My question is, how shiny is the finish on original A2's. My USA doesn't seem as shiny as most of the pictures of originals I have seen. I also have a Cooper A2 that is much...

I just got a new Goatskin A2 from US Authentic to replace my "introductory to A2's" E-Bay Cooper. Man, What a difference! I really liked my Cooper, but it was just a little tight. I am 5'8" 180ish with a 42 chest. The Cooper and USA are both 42R, but the USA actually fits very comfortably. I can...

How does a 42R cooper A2 compare to a USAuthentic 42R A2? I have the Cooper now, but I need a little more room across the back. I have other 42R jackets (not A2) that fit fine. The USAuthentic looks like a good buy, but I am a little worried about sizing. Thanks, Dennis

What size do you have? Is it possible to get the back measurement from pit to pit? Thank you very much, Dennis

I am looking at either a US Authentic or US wings Goat skin A2. These two are in my price range. I have a probably somewhat stretched 42R Cooper A2 now that is a little tight across the back (23 3/4" back at armpit, 23 !/2" front at armpit) and a little short(24 1/2" from neck seam to bottom)...

I have a Cooper A2 That I bought on E-Bay that smelled so bad from smoke I didn't want to wear it. I tried all the methods above with little result. I decided my options were to sell it to some other unsuspecting person or try something radical. Being a basically honest person, I went for option...
