Hey there all, am considering purchasing a US Authentic A2, was wondering if any of you could give me the good/bad/ugly of it ...... Also, what is the difference between their A2 and their RAAF A2?

Do a thread search, that poor horse (no pun) has been beat to death. But it seems that the bottom line is, USA is a good mid range A-2 once the fit has been established.

Biggest things to keep in mind:
1. US-A's standard fit is really a Long. They'll send you a stock jacket to try on and then make one to your measure.
2. Their horsehide is a lot heavier weight than their goatskin - closer to 4oz than the traditional 3oz.
