I forgot to post the required “Fit Pix”

Sorry for being off topic, but the denim looks great!

Great write up on the Sefton A-2! I've been trying to find one in my size 42 for ages and recently picked up this one from the UK. Sure it lacks details of higher end reproduction A-2's but it's very well constructed and the poopy russet steer hide is a dead on match to many of my originals. BTW, I also have an unworn sz 44 Sefton I thought would fit but is way too big on me I'm happy to move on for a decent price if anyone's interested.

Probably too big for me, but out of curiosity, what’s the pit-to-put on the size 44 Sefton?

The one you’re wearing looks amazing, btw.

Grant I would also be interested in the pit to pit size of the 44 Sefton also .

Sorry for the delay in getting measurements of a sz 44 Sefton:

Front of jacket pit to pit - 23"
Shoulder width - 19 1/2"
Sleeve length from shoulder seam to end of knit cuff - 25"
Back length from base of stand collar to bottom of knit - 25 1/2"

Yeah, it sounds like you and I are the same size. Best of luck in finding someone who needs a size 44.

Shame I need 24 pit to pit or bigger . Thanks for measuring Grant .

Thanks to Kermit in another thread, I came across 2 nice Sefton jackets:

Blouson Cuir AIR FORCE US ARMY TYPE A-2 - Vêtements (leboncoin.fr)

Blouson flight jacket A2 - Vêtements (leboncoin.fr)

If you speak French and have access to this auctionsite, the size 38 is a gorgious jacket.

I miss my Sefton, a really great made A-2. Mine was a really red russet steer.

This is mine, a very nice and well done jacket.
