Looking at picking up an '88 Saddlery on eBay, but was curious if these jackets fit true to size. My normal jacket size is 40. One thing I have learned is that every contract of every brand runs a little different. Any help would be appreciated.- DustyUSAF

Gibson-Barnes pics
Does anybody have any pics of the Gibson-Barnes Air Force A-2? More specifically, what I'm looking for is a comparison between the dark brown leather and the seal. It's hard to see a real difference from the tiny swatches on their website. Thanks.- DustyUSAF

Cooper Saddlery Colors
Hey everybody. After looking at some different A-2s at our Equipment Issue store on base, I noticed a very distinct color difference between the '88 Saddlery and the '96 Saddlery. The '88 looks almost like a burnt orange/reddish color, whereas the '96 was more of a darker brown. The reason...- DustyUSAF
