Any A-2's or G-1's in the 40R or 42R?

@Brettafett, Thanks for the quick reply man. I'll take your advice and go with the 42.

@Brettafett I'm about your size and not sure whether to order the 40 or 42. I'm roughly 77 kgs and 5' 11". What size would you recommend?

Some member posted here earlier about AVI Leather. They are at your price point and something he recommended. The review is somewhere in this forum, just search "AVI Leather." http://www.avilthr.com/product/a2-flight-jacket/

This looks like an awesome deal for the price! Can't decide between the russet or seal brown though.

JB17COT lovin your profile pic, what a great game

Is this still available?

That sounds right, as in checking their website again it mentions only their Signature Series are specifically made in the US on the factory page. "Our US Wings-labeled Signature Series™ jackets are made right here in the USA!"

It should be at your place in about a week I'm estimatin. Would you mind postin pics of your jacket?

The tag says USWINGS.COM DWC NO. 30-1415 A.C. CONTRACT USA I'm assuming the components are from China, but they are assembled here in the US since the tag doesn't clearly state "Made in the USA". Their site has a link to their factory in NJ which I put below. https://www.uswings.com/uswfactory.asp

*Update* Received the jacket, the fit is fine even though it smells a bit funny probably from storage. Most of the weight in the box was from all of the marketing paraphernalia including brochures, a small book, some dvd, and who knows what else. Not bad for $150 worth of some trees and animal skin.

Just saw an excellent condition 2000 in my size on ebay for 131 shipped! Leave it to me to have ordered the current issue a few days ago.

How so?

Would you mind posting some pictures of the jacket?

Their current issue A-2 is only $150 now. I have no idea on the quality of these jackets, but that sounds like a pretty decent price. http://www.uswings.com/monthlysale.asp#A2GCI
