AVI LTHR BRONCO A-2 Jacket Review & Pics

[Gutmann]

Thank Phillip,
Another Star wearer! It looks excellent on you!
I also pulled the trigger at the ELC tent. With the price increases, I had too ;?
An ELC A-2 will put you back a sizeable chunk by the end of the year.
Got to sit in a genuine airworthy Spitfire, took some pics, will post when I get them downloaded...
No A-2 at the show, wayyyy to warm
Dmitry... I got some shots of a lovely DC3, just for you.

Cool! Did you fall in love with ur 1401P again?

As mentioned by brettafett here we go Dimitri.

hahaha, does this answer you question?
Although, Ive had to order a long size, so its a few months wait for the jacket.
Time to sell my self and everything else thats not tied down

In the beginning I thought ordering a long size as well but Gary and rob from Eastman told me that it fits perfectly fine. I was afraid that the sleeves would lose length when broken in but according to them not so much with this „light“ horsehide. Will u get the jacket with the patches?

I tried the Star, but it just felt to restrictive for me in both a 40 AND 42, EVEN THE RW1401 IN A 40 FELT TIGHT... GOING WITH A 42. Tried HLB 40 nice, RW27752 AND G-1 42...
TBH AVI is not an ELC, two different playing fields... that said, I think my AVI Bronco has spoiled me... Its so comfy and easy to wear, these ELC jackets just feel different.
I wish I'd brought my AVI today, just to compare... But Im sure I would have suffered heatstroke.
Hats off to all the gents, who did appear with their jackets, all looking very sharp and dapper!

No, unpatched.

Had a close look at that new Dubow 1755... Nice, going for well over a grand, the painted version... you do not want to know.

Thank you, my friend, I am familiar with this old lady! It's nice to see that everything is fine with her and she flies.
