Hi I'm looking to buy a Buzz Rickson N3b size medium , if any has one for sale

Does anyone know the history behind the A2 worn by Frank Sinatra in Von Ryan's express

12 weeks ! what a bummer ! I thought 4 was bad enough. Did Eastman say why ? It's a real drag having to wait after all the painstaking decision making, when you make your mind up which one you want, you want it now !

And the winner is ............ Eastman Having taken due regard of all the knowledge folks in the forum, I'm going to order the ELC Werber . 4 week delivery tho !

If you want to be warm ( and look like father christmas ) get the Aviation Leather Irvin, but if you want be cooooool , get the ELC 1940. It's the Biz !

schott A2 Yeh it has the detachable fur collar, it's more like a G1 but Schott call it an A2

For sale I'm selling my Schott NYC jacket ( check out the link for details ) as I'm looking for an ELC or RMNZ A2 in Russet colour. Does anyone have one for sale ? It's a size 40 and about 10 months old. I'm looking for $250 plus postage...

RMNZ A2 Sizes After enquiring about their Dubow A2's,I just got an email from RMNZ saying that their sizes are different from other manufacturers. Does any one have any experience of this ? I've got a size 40 ELC Irvin would I need to go bigger with an RM ?

I love the colour , do elc still make it ? I spoke to eastman yesterday and he said the Werber was still a prototype ? Has any ordered one and got a delivery date ? I think I'm going to get one but I like that Caramel RW , I'd probably have one of those if they still do them .

Fantastic Jackets ! I really like the RMNZ Dubow . What price are they ? I checked out the mill mill website & the BR they have is nice, but wow ! very pricey !

Does anyone have any experience of the Eastman "Pearl Harbour" A2's?

The Werber does look the business, I've just had another look on the Eastman website and it does look quite distinctive too. Does anyone have any photos of the eastman standard or RW A2's , as their website only seems to have the 1950's style drawings.

Is the werber the best one to get then ? I've seen a good deal on the standard ELC seal A2 and the werber is £115 more. But is it worth it ? Also Aero have a brown A2 for only £200 ? I also like the look of the Aero unkown contract A2 , is this the only A2 with a lining on the neck ?

in what way is the trouncing delivered

Who's the daddy for A2's ? I've got a 1940 patern Irvine from Eastman , which is superb, and was going to get one of their A2's but heard that Aero are just as good ? Does anyone have the answer ?
