    HH US Authentic A2 after 2 years of wear

    @Asienizen: no, I have not used a flash, I made the fotos quickly in the evening when the sun was shining exactly through the window and reflecting on the white wall behind me. So its just the direct sunlight. Well, the finish wears off slowly on stress points, i have another pic here...

    HH US Authentic A2 after 2 years of wear

    Hey, thanks for your comments! Well at the beginning the jacket was very smooth and stiff like a piece of armor, not very comfortable. Now its a huge difference of course, it became pretty soft in the areas of heavy usage and there is some patina development going on at the lower back and the...

    HH US Authentic A2 after 2 years of wear

    And some on the owner. I have to say that I am a slim person and the jacket is a bit too wide in the shoulders, but I am working on it with sports so it should fit me even better in the future ;)

    HH US Authentic A2 after 2 years of wear

    Hello folks, my name is Yar, I am from Berlin, Germany. I do not post much in this forum, but I read it very often. I want to thank you for helping me choose the jacket that I am very happy with.

    Please suggest my size for a US Authentic A2

    Shaul suggested me size 40, I purchased 38 and its still a tiny bit too roomy. A 36 would fit me spot on. Trust your own measurements.

    Don't you guys hate it when the seller isn't quite honest?

    Maybe the german seller was honest or it was just a misunderstanding between you and him, the german 46 jacket size is approximately the american/uk 36 ;) I think thats not a coincidence. Here is a converter: http://www.asknumbers.com/ClothingMensConversion.aspx

    Obama's A2 ?

    Who are those "wannabe losers" or "wannabe-military-types" that you are talking about and why are they "mostly lonely nerds with no friends"? Civilians who wear the A2 only because they think its a good looking and well made jacket? Just curious :confused:

    Which is the best A2 manufacturer you can order from and get a jacket right away?

    I measured the sleeve of my jacket now from the end of the shoulder to the end of the cuff. Its 65.5 cm with the cuff and 60cm without it, that would be 25,6 and 23.6 inches. In my case when i wear it half of the cuff is covered with the leather sleeve, some people like it, some hate it, its...

    Which is the best A2 manufacturer you can order from and get a jacket right away?

    If it matches exactly with your other jacket that fits, then i would take 38R, i dont think there is a need to go up to 40R. I think Shaul recommends a size that would definitely fit ( its better for him to sell a jacket that is a bit too big than too small - less returns i guess), but im afraid...

    Which is the best A2 manufacturer you can order from and get a jacket right away?

    I cant help you directly since i dont know american measuring units good enough, all i can say that Shaul recommended me 40R size too, i mailed him about the exactly measurements of the 38R and 40R sizes then and thats what he wrote: This is how they measure the jackets exactly...

    How long are US Authentic A2's

    Horsehide it is. Very heavy, but i really like that. @ Doc Strange, time will tell. Like i said before, mine is only one month old, and i can see the lighter underneath color only on some tiny spots on the edges now. Maybe it will just stay there.

    Why not order it and see for yourself? You will get your money back if you dont like it anyway ;) They needed only two workdays to send it to Germany from the USA.

    How long are US Authentic A2's

    My 38R size one month old US Authentic A2 is 62 centimetres long in the middle of the back, from the lower edge of the stand collar to the end of the cuff. The finish starts to wear off on the edges a bit already, the color underneath it is a very light brown. I hope this helps you.

    U.S. Authentic (FlightJacket.com) Opinions?

    I bought a horsehide A2 from US Authentic 2 weeks ago, the shipping from USA to Germany took only 4 days (including saturday and sunday), this is fantastic. The leather and the jacket are great, especially for this price. I can agree that Shaul is not the easiest person to communicate with, but...
