Are your Epaulettes placed correctly?

Yes we actually copied a real Bronco.

I don't have the space and wear-time for another jacket but this one just looks great for an even greater price, well done!

The epaulets are a strange thing on this contract. When laying flat, they really look far forward. When worn though they sit nicely if made properly:

Same Jacket:

In response to a request for some better pictures … here’s another lame attempt..
First 2 unzipped

Half zipped

As a side note I’m on the bigger side of the charts at 6’1” and 250lbs… I’m pushing the limits of a size 48 but I’m very comfortable with this fit. I doubt I could layer with any heavy top or sweater/jumper just yet but maybe if it opens a little with wear..

I’m not a stitch counter or overly obsessed with small details but this has all the appearances of a great jacket for a great price.. the leather feels really nice with grain showing up along the sleeve creases after just a few hours wear. There are no unpleasant odors from the leather. The knits feel good and They have no pulls or pilling.

That is a great fit on you Boyo! Looks great.

Loved those shots, Boyo. I have the same t-shirt, but nobody has ever realized what it is when I've even worn it to military collector shows.
Just placed an order for one of these A2s, for what my wife said is my joint birthday (at the end of this month) and Christmas present.
Can't wait to try it on, the photos look great!

yater boards? classic. I used to have a couple of them back in the day when they were shaped by renny, and my yater step deck was my go to board down in costa.

I actually bought a size 46 Bronco to replace my LL Bean a-2 for various outdoor chores. Loved my Bean, but it was a size 42 and I needed something that fit better as I prefer my Good Wear's in beautiful shape, {contrary to others who prefer to put plenty of wear on theirs. But, referencing your post CBI, the Bronco has no distinctive smell at all.

Good thing I ordered when I did. Can't wait to get it and try it on but I've been told I won't be able to wear it normally until Christmas...

Nice jacket but i also saw your shirt.

I own the same tee but even when i was in a latenight cinema with "APO NOW" (the sound is so much better than at home) nobody ever recognized it
