    STEVE McCOLGAN A-2 WITH LEATHER PATCHES

    I'm about 5 years late, but that is a stunning A-2! I've only just heard of Steve McColgan. I'm looking for a blood chit jacket as well, would you by any chance be looking to sell this one? May I ask what size it is and how it fits you? Thank you!

    AVG 'Blood Chits'

    That makes sense, thanks for the info! How did your jacket turn out? Would love to see it. I’m putting one together myself at the moment, just need to find someone I trust to stitch everything together nicely. I believe the majority of authentic jackets had the patches sewn through both the...

    WTB: Silk Blood Chit - Flying Tigers / AVG / CBI

    Thank you for the suggestion Brett, I’ve seen Sean’s work around, beautiful stuff. I should have noted that I’m looking for an authentic vintage piece, though. It just doesn’t feel right to me stitching a repro piece onto an original jacket.

    Are these A-2 jackets authentic vintage?

    Hey all, just a quick update. I ended up winning the A-2 with two Flying Tigers patches. I've just received it in the mail, but am still not quite sure what to make of it. The Crown zipper and red Flying Tigers patch seem old enough to be authentic, but I'm not so sure about the blue patch. The...

    A-2 jacket leather types? Rigid vs soft

    Thank you for the detailed response. Attached are catalog images of the jacket I am considering. It is described as "Hand Aniline Casein Finished", made from bronco hide and vegetable tanned. Would this mean it's rigid or soft? Some more product images here...

    A-2 jacket leather types? Rigid vs soft

    Hey all, Could someone help briefly explain the differences between A-2 jacket leather materials, tanning, finishes, etc.? I have my eyes set on an A-2 from Buzz Rickson's catalog, which describes the material as bronco hide, vegetable tanned, and casein finished. What is the difference...

    Are these A-2 jackets authentic vintage?

    Thank you all for your replies, and my apologies for the delayed response. The links do point to completely different items now. I saved images of the jackets from the auctions before they ended. Please see attached. I am especially interested in the first jacket with the two Flying Tigers...

    Are these A-2 jackets authentic vintage?

    I've just come across several A-2 jacket listings on eBay which the seller claims are WWII originals. I've only ever owned repros from The Real McCoy's and Buzz Rickson's, so am not exactly sure how to spot authentic vintage pieces. They certainly look worn enough, but something about the...
