For sale is a very nice, and barely-used A-2 in dark brown horsehide by Robert Morgan of Crane Hill, AL. Size 44, and the arms and body are quite long for a regular, so it fits tall folks quite well. I usually wear a 42 Long in suits and most jackets and it fits me perfectly. Buyer pays shipping from Mississippi, USA. Payment via PayPal preferred. $175 OBO. Excellent jacket, with FAR more authentic details than usual for this price range.

Darn! You had me so excited up until I read the back length haha, everything else seems spot on but the back is way too short for me. Thanks anyhow!

How tall are you? I'm 6'3" tall (1.90 m)/ 190 lbs, and it's plenty long on me. I'm going to get it back out and remeasure. Admittedly, I was using a digital measuring tape, as I can't find a normal one.

Here's a shot of me wearing it, from my best side, LOL. It's not long like most modern cut jackets, but its pretty correct for an A-2. Like I said, I'm 6'3", and jeans are worn at normal, modern level (not douche-bag low rider, neither), but not hiked up like grandpa. I remeasured the back, and again got 23.5" from bottom of collar to bottom of knit waist.

Wow I’m surprised to hear that 23.5” fits you that well. I’m 6’4” and I have found I usually need 27” length in both back (Measured dame bottom of collar to bottom knit) and sleeve.

Like I said, this was a digital measuring tape, but the rest of the measurements it took were spot on, so I suppose the 23.5" is correct. But from the photo, you can see how it actually fits me at 6'3". Anyhow, no pressure. If it doesn't sell, I may use it for a 'painter' jacket.

It has a tag inside attached to the lining "Genuine Horsehide." Dead giveaway. ;).
The back is 24.5". I saw that in the comments just above we got confused in the conversation. The front from collar clasp to bottom is 23.5".
