This is the best condition A-2 jacket I've ever seen online.

It is a beautifully well preserved Bronco from their last contact dating to 1944. These jackets were made as replacements for serving airmen and are usually seen in smaller sizes. BTW I have seen even better A2s on the net, but they are exceptionally rare these days.

That one is in excellent condition. Awesome grain! However, I'm a bit skeptical about the knits. They look identical to some that I have on a-2s that were manufactured in the last 30 years. Can the experts weigh in on this? (i.e. Andrew)

Studying the photos carefully I'm of the view that the knits have been replaced. I can see empty stitch holes on one wrist and there is no over sewing on the waistband to reinforce the zipper. They have certainly been replaced professionally IMO.

I saw that Bronco yesterday. It's truly in outstanding condition.

Are our Goodwear veg-tanned aniline dyed jackets going to look that way in 50 years? I hope I'm around to see it!
