Survey: Your Favorite A-2 Jacket (Original or Repro, Expensive or Cheap as Hell!)

Wow, that's a great jacket uwez. Can you tell me the type of leather and knits? Is that oil pull?

I've never been all that big a fan of the A-2. They have a tendency to balloon a bit and make a person look a good deal thicker then they are in actuality. The following is the only one I own and I bought it at a resale shop for a price that I just couldn't refuse. It's made in America from a nice thick calf skin (surprisingly thick these types of jackets usually emphases softness and not durability) and I think uniquely is lined in Persian fur. I'm not normally a fan of these new niche New York designers but I do like this.

A little bit of a thick waist caused by the jacket. Still on a cold day it's a good pick.
