A-2 Leather Hanger

[Striker]

On original A-2's, is there a lot of variation regarding the leather hanger?

Is there a typical size that is found on most A-2's?

1) What is the typical length and width of the leather hanger?

2) What is the typical shape of the box X stitching (a square box or a rectangular box)?

Thanks,

Striker

Striker, I'd suggest that you look at John Chapman's website (http://www.goodwearleather.com/pages/index.html), as each of the jacket photosets contains details of hanger in close proximity to the label or the Acme Depot site (http://www.acmedepot.com/a2jacket/index.shtml).

Most are very similar (X stitching) with minor variations, but in some cases there is square stitching (e.g. Doniger) rather than X stitching.

Cheers

Striker do you need this info to help you manufacture A2s or are you writing a book on the subject? :roll:

Sometimes originals in photos, when looking at the back, the box X appears to vary in size.

Acme Depot shows an example of 'bar-tacking' instead of the typical box X (it's a Bronco A-2). They also show an example of no X inside the boxes (Doniger).

Are there any other interesting variations that you've come across?

Regarding variations in the A-2 hanger stitching. I have an original Bronco 29191 that has the 'X' stitching instead of the bar-tacking. This reinforces the differences within any contract as "we" have seen before.
