What original A-2 contract is the less baggy?

For those who has no belly :D What A-2 contract is the less baggy right under the armpits to the bottom? 1939 Werber maybe?

I asked Eastman Leather for their slender A-2 but it happens that my shoulders don't fit in their bigger size for this model, a 44.

(No Aero suggestions, thank you!)

I don't think one can single out just one contract. Trim fitting A2s were the 1933, 1936, 1938 and 1939 Werbers, the late 1941 Monarch and the 1941 Dubow 20960.

My 'trimmest' original is a Bronco. Boxier shoulders, tighter arm holes at the armpits, no 'bagginess' in the belly area.

There was some variaton in the Bronco cut. My tagged original size 44 Bronco can't be described as a trim jacket, although many did have a snug fiitting torso.
