    Introduction & A2 Fit Advice

    Well, following my post a week or so ago I've done a couple of things... The first is accepting some elements on the jacket for what they are - it's a bit tight on the shoulders, but that's A2's generally. Also the shoulders hang off my own a bit, but this is a frequent trait on old pictures so...

    Haha, you never know! I'm from the North, generally, born in Lancashire and raised in Cumbria (the lake district). I'm guessing your Dad was over here serving then, what did he do?

    I appreciate that, thank you. I realise I'm another newbie cluttering up the place with another A2 fit post, but this whole process has been very reassuring, I appreciate you all entertaining me.

    100%, I was lucky enough to buy my bronco from Aero's factory last year too, the place smelt incredible!

    Very different! Still looks good though. Have you got a jumper on under it too? That must be handy - the whole year covered with two jackets. I'm in the UK, and I have a customer client near ELC's factory shop, so I may pop in one day to try and some different contracts and see what my next...

    Introduction & A2 Fit Advice

    It's Aero's Jerky HH, they describe it as mid weight - I wouldn't want to find out what heavy weight is like as this is a seriously substantial jacket. I've sprayed mine with water a few times in the last fortnight, I wanted to get rid of some newness before Masters of the Air came out and...

    Funny you mention that jacket, as I've been comparing it to the waistband of my Harrington G9, which isn't a million miles off an MA-1.

    Introduction & A2 Fit Advice

    Thank you all for your insights, I appreciate them. I've certainly been a bit guilty of overthinking it, and I do need to accept that broadly 'it is what it is'. But I'm going to investigate the tightening of the waistband, and if it could just be a little tighter it would achieve that classic...

    Introduction & A2 Fit Advice

    Hi All, I'm a long time lurker, soaking up all the information that's been collected here over the years (and for that I'm grateful), but today I felt the need to post and ask for advice. I bought an A2 Bronco from Aero last August. At the time I thought I had a passable knowledge of A2...
