Thought I'd snap a few photos of my new purchase. Sold the SAT and found this russet GW Bronco from a forum member. It was practically new and got it for a fair price. Thought I'd never like a goat skin A-2 since I always thought the ideal A-2 is horse hide. I'd have to say that I'm not a huge fan of new goat, but they sure look fantastic after a few months of "good wear". :lol: One thing I really like is the softness and how much lighter the jacket is compared to horse hide. This one is a big size 46 and I think I've finally found my size. Length is perfect, as is the sleeves and pits. Arm tops are slightly tight, but typical of this contract and not a problem for me. I can cross my arms all the way (something I wasn't able to do with other A-2s I've owned). I was a little worried going with the Bronco contract as some have said it's not the most comfortable. No problem for me. I love it and I'm a total "goat" convert now! Just need a seal goat now.

I'm still up in the air about putting my Wright Field patch on. Not sure if the contract date matches up good enough with an early type patch such as this. If I do not apply this patch, I will do a name tape with my name.
