    A-2 jacket size tag inside pocket

    Hi, I still don't own a good quality repro so time passes with studying all the details and drooling. So another subject I would like to get some info on is the size tag inside the patch pocket. How is it? Is it made of paper? cotton? synthetic? what? Is it one cut piece? is it folded...

    A-2 jacket snaps

    Have a few questions guys 1. Is it true that the snaps that go under the collar are smaller than those that go in the pocket flaps? 2. Does this apply for both types of snaps used? i.e. ball stud and ring type? 3. What is the difference in size, e.g. how the ball stud snaps measure in mm or...

    My new A-2 jacket. Your expert opinion please?

    Patterson, Are you suggesting that if I run hot water on the marked areas and dry in the sun, there will be some shrinkage? Will it work on horsehide?

    My new A-2 jacket. Your expert opinion please?

    Nothing against LW. I just don't like the product. Yes, maybe I could get a G&B but I thought this one would fit better. I didn't want a second hand jacket so Eastman, Aero etc were out of question

    My new A-2 jacket. Your expert opinion please?

    I don't consider Lost Worlds, but which Aero models have the best shoulder fit? Actually, the fit of my jacket is much better that what can be seen in the pics I posted. I am quite happy about that. I paid $555 incl. shipping and the jacket is custom because it normally has 3 patches and a...

    It's a Cockpit (ex Avirex) Speaking about droop, which maker makes them with less droop?

    My new A-2 jacket. Your expert opinion please?

    I also don't like the drop of the shoulders. I like them squared just as Eastman makes them. Can afford an Eastman tho. The jacket is thin and light. I don't know how HH is supposed to be, please guide.

    My new A-2 jacket. Your expert opinion please?

    Hi guys, I too believe you can only get a descent A-2 only from Eastman, Aero, Real McCoy, Buzz Rickson, Lost Worlds or even G&B. The jacket I will present you here comes from a vendor that doesn't have such a good repuation as the above firms. Of course, the jacket was a custom job. (I...

    COCKPIT (ex AVIREX) CURRENT ISSUE A-2

    Don't buy this jacket. I bought this one to check it out and give it as gift to a family member. The leather is goat and I have seen better. The collar doesn't meet the storm flap as it should be. The jacket has inside pockets on both sides and two pencil pockets. It also has hand...

    Is it so hard to answer my question?

    WWII A2 Sleeves

    Thanks but, from your reply, I see that you don't know what the diameter is. What you are giving looks like circumference measurements to me, but yet there is no way to measure that efficiently. Also, acmedepot.com does not have diameter measurements, that's why I asked here.
