Lenny, may i suggest,buy the most authentic /correct repro you can afford and a leather gloves. You will have best of both worlds. And right now, Goodwear is the end of the rainbow, but i don't think i'll ever reach that pot of gold. That's just me though....

Bullet Proof Jacket
Congratulation on a very good looking A-2 Adam. It seems bulletproof! More photos please on broad daylight. I'm still saving up to get one. What size is that? How's the fit? US'A has been known to be longish on the waist, what do you think?
Hi Kojax,
Well i don't have camera to show you the vintage horsehide patches i have from Shaul. And my english won't let me describe it correctly. It's brown with reddish shade. Very cool color. It's physically thinner than US'A other color horsehide . Hope this helps.

I'm waiting for leather samples from NZ, when it arrived, i will be sure which one is thicker, RMCNZ or US'A. I can't believe the caliper shows almost 2mm thick on US A' russet hide.

Hi, Rubicon,
Thank you for the image, i recognize the leather as vintage hh instantly, that hide were my first choice but i realize i need the russet. Wear it in good health.

I imagine if you can get measurements and pix from someone with an original or faithful repro RW, you can be specific on what you want US-A to make for you.
That's very true my friend, well untill i found the right owner with the right size, i'll have to stick with cloth model of collar base...
