ELC Slender A-2.
It took years and a few mistakes in other A2's to finally find one that fits the way I like it.
Thanks @Jaime for posting about it and helping me decide in this particular model.
Great jacket, I love it.

Im glad it helped because same happened to me, Ive had a RMCNZ and a BR but I didn't hit the target until the Slender! And there are not almost any reviews or even pictures of that particular model in the internet so its hard to get a real impression. The jacket looks great on you, perfect fit! Congrats Fonzie!
Gracias Jaime, saludos desde Australia de un sevillano.
Thanks mate!

Today it's my Landings Leather copy of an A-1 (slightly modified by me to make it kinda/sorta historically accurate) - best $99 I ever spent on a jacket!

I'd like to see a photo of it worn. Was looking at these as a bang-around jacket in the hangar. Think it could stand up to mild mechanical work?

I don't think it would - the A-1 is a very thin, soft lambskin (I assume). Very comfortable - kind of like wearing a sweater, but I don't think it would hold up to any rigorous use, but I've never really put it to the test.
I bought one of their black "A-2" styled jackets to use as a police duty jacket and it is a much more substantial leather (allegedly goat I think). It's pretty durable and also well-worth the $99 for it's intended use.

For the moment at least, a deerskin jacket made by Mid Western Sports Togs.

This was a company that you could send your salted deer hides to and they would tan them and use them to sew a variety of clothing articles. They went out of business sometime in the 70s or 80s. I think this one may date to sometime in the 60s.

Pretty simple, two pockets, two side adjuster straps.

Nice and supple with a pebbly grain. According to their old catalog it's washable.
