I have a Real McCoy New Zeeland Rough Wear size 50. It is great and cant see how anybody could make the quality any better. I am 6ft 1 in. and 236 lb. I think it fits me very well. Sleeves and shoulders all fit well. When zipped, it is slightly snug but feels like that is what an A2 should...

Big let down for me.. I wonder if he really ever had the jacket.

he went by the name of einamazemroz or address of einama_ir4796shjg@members.ebay.com. In Fort Lauderdale Florida. He is no longer registered on Ebay. Heck of a name huh..? Thanks Andrew as that helps.. Does your friend have a friend in Fort Lauderdale? lol I just don't have a lot of avenues...

Well as the old saying goes, if it is too good to be true................ I never did get the jacket. Apparently the seller was trying to scam me as he never sent it... Ebay is on it so I wont lose any money.. I hate it as I really wanted the jacket. Andrew, I wonder since that jacket used...

funny. I got the hint.. thanks..

How collectible is an original Protech type A-2 Jacket? The tag states Jacket, Flyer's Leather NSN no. 8415, DLA 100-87-R-0615, Property U.S. Army Air Force, Protech, INC. Plymouth Ma. It has a patch and is in good wearable condition. Size 44. I can buy for $300. sorry cant figure out...

Thanks Andrew, I am sure I will have more questions when I get it.. If you don't mind.

Thanks, I think u made my day.. I hope I got a good deal. I hope to wear it and thinking of having Authentic replace the knits. Will that affect the value of the jacket that much and should I keep the old ones to go with the rest of the jacket as a collector item?

Was hoping for Andrew to clarify that he is verifying that this jacket is an original.. and if he knew this particular jacket...

Thanks and sounds good but would also like to hear from a few more experts..

Thanks, I will look into that...

Andrew, Are you saying that you used to own this particular jacket? Then do you think it is an original WWII as written?

Well that's encouraging. It looks as though the webbing is old and maybe original perhaps..

I would appreciate hearing from them.

I would also like to know what to look for to determine if original..
