Brabander horsehide A-2s

[atomjet58]

Does anyone know anything about the Brabander Mfg. Co. horsehide A-2s from Belgium?
They look interesting but I've never heard of them before.

I saw the one on ebay. That collar looks a bit funky IMO.

Damn straight. Looks as though they've made the jacket from the bottom up, got to the collar and lost interest in the project: "Sod it, just fold it over. If they like it, they like it. C'mon it's almost final orders!"

I have seen some Goatskin A2s from Brabender. The goatskin is average, stitching is good. Zipper and hook look terrible for me. The jacket is not bad for someone who wants just A-2 but who doesn`t lay stress on authenticity. It is cheap and it looks like cheap. Goatskin costs about $250 here in CZ. It is good looking A-2 jacket from about 150 feets. If you are closer and you like Aero, BK, ELC or GW you just say "Oh, next like A2 looking jacket."
