What is the Correct Sleeve Length Fit for an A-2?

[South]

Anyone have pictures of what is considered the ideal sleeve length? I've seen them all over the map.

Thanks.

There was no ideal A2 sleeve length, but this looks about the right length to me. The jacket is a size 42 original David D Doniger.

That is a beaute! And the squadron patch is lovely.

Yes, its a beautiful jacket. Recently I bought a near mint size 42 Doniger from the ultra rare no name W535ac29971 contract. This one has a CBI ATC leather patch. I will post some pictures of it in due course.

Well seeing that pristine Doniger makes me hanker after an original. Up to now I've been happy with repros.

Thanks, Andrew.
