Hi Grant, Saw your photo and wanted to comment, that is one outstanding A2, very impressive. Have seen many other brand A2s in goatskin but none that could nail it like GW . I have an ELC A2 in goatskin I'm selling but it does not compare to the GW. Although at about half the price the...

I do believe you, nice photos of impressive jackets, Thanks Interesting how leather and styles are dropped and added, imay list for sale as I'm thinking of buying a G1 I am a little surprised that the market for a jacket like this seems to be only about 1 third of the cost of a new one...
