I am looking for a G-1 in good shape - nothing fancy or ultra-expensive, just a decent jacket for everyday wear - size 44.

Hmmm... For some strange reason I can't upload pictures...

I planned to get the pictures taken last night but the camera had flat batteries - will do it today. Well, I was about to sleep wearing the jacket - the only one who complained was my wife who said that it was either her or the jacket in one bed :)))))))))))) Since I knew her longer I put the...

Exactly :))) It is sunny day down here but I am inclined to keep wearing my A-2 until I start boiling from inside :))))))

Will do that as soon as I get home - for now I keep my office mates amused by walking around wearing the jacket :)))))))))))

Got my US Authentic A-2.... Sigh. Now I am fully satisfied! Amazing jacket, pleasure to wear!:D Many thanks to Jim from www.garciaaviation.com - he was amazingly helpful and tolerated my constant whining like a stoic - I am eternally grateful for his help!

Hi, what are the measurements of the jacket?

Thanks, Harp - will do that. Is his email on their web page?

Thanks, BellyTank - I have placed my order for US Authentic. But I think I got this virus now - I am hunting for more jackets :)))))))))

Gee! Is it what you end up being when you are into A-2? Man, I am scared now!

McCoys have their price tag at $1300+ NZD level - way too much for me. Even without excessive shipping it is still high - and I am not into collecting A-2s... Yet...

It was my choice, too - the only reason I opted out was there shipping tag - but I found easier way to send the jacket down under. And from their description they are very thorough with what they are doing. Oh, well - now the hardest part - waiting :)

Ok, guys, my search for the jacket is over, I guess :) Just ordered and payed for US Authentic goat jacket - thanks a lot, guys, for all your advices!

Aye - for the last two weeks I've been reading nothing more but the A-2 - related articles :) And right now I have a huge dilemma - as I mentioned above, I am not after 100% authentic WWII A-2 - the modern one would be fine. What I want is fairly decent quality leather and current military...

Nope, it's their current MacArthur model - and I am not after some hugely authentic jacket, just want very comfy flying one and I like A-2 style immensly. I've been offered the MacArthus model just recently but I couldn't find any information and close-ups on the leather quality and such.
