Cockpit USA "WWII issue" A-2 Horsehide

[GregGale]

Cockpit USA "WWII issue" A-2 Horsehide in good condition. Size 36Long, but I would say it's a 38/40. I'm 184 cm tall, 75 kg.

Shoulder: 18.5
Pit to pit: 21.5
Length: 25
Sleeve (without knits): 25.5

It was used to fly in airplanes so there is some wear (a lot like on the ELC Escape jacket), as shown on the pictures. The wrinkles on the 2nd pic are due to recent transportation. I'm asking 249 GBP with free shipping within the EU.

Some temporary wrinkles due to recent transportation:

Slight wear in the armpit:

...and on the elbows:

Zippers in great working condition:

Knits undamaged (apart fro ma few thingies stuck on it from my girlfriend's scarf )

Hi Greg, apologies for not getting back to you earlier. I was away most of the weekend and believe you bought the Star I was hoping to try on I managed to go to the Pop Up on Sunday afternoon. Spent over an hour there... like a kid in a Candy store.
I am interested, will reread your original post for sizing details... but have to ask... Is that your best price for this jacket?
Thanks, Brett

 

[GregGale]

I'm open for negotiation What price you had in mind? I can send you more measurements if you need.

Hi Greg,
I looked into replacing the knits and its not that cheap, but not your problem...
Measurements are all there. I generally feel more comfortable with 26" body and sleeve length... I dunno, it might fit, it might fit weird. I know Cockpit has funny sizing.
Also, I have to ask, is this from a smoking or non-smoking home?

Thanks, Brett

 

[GregGale]

Strictly non smoking! I haven't smoked a single cigarette in my life. The cuffs don't really need replacing in my view, but it's up to you. I can send more pictures of them if you like. Also, when I get home I will measure the length of the back with and without the knit.

 

[Brettafett]

Greg, same as me.
I recall you mentioning that it was a little tight on you, but I know you flew in it, so it can't be that restrictive... As Im a touch smaller than you, it should fit ok. I am ordering an Eastman, and you know how much those cost, but I am keen on this to put some patches on maybe... As a day to day wearer.
Would you accept £200 posted?

 

[GregGale]

Brett, you got yourself a deal! At least I know it will be in good hands

Patching it up is a great idea - they look awesome, but it's something that I wouldn't do to an Eastman. Please send me a PM with the shipping address and we can also discuss payment methods.

Nice Greg, will PM you a bit later. Thanks
