huge original aero on greedbay

[Silver Surfer]

the seller of item 283994781272 size 50 aero a-2 has lowered his [her] price to $1500. my guess is that they may be open to a reasonable offer below $1500. the jacket appears to be in special occasion wearable condition. the knit elements are replacements, but appear to be very old replacements, perhaps even war time done. of interest is that the jacket has an original kwik zipper [super rare] in good usable condition. in brief, any of ya big mokes that have been thirsting for a wearable big original a-2,, this one might be worth a look see.

Not ready to pay this price for a jacket in this condition, but a good argument for repro maker stoping a 46 or 48 with the WWII sizing pretext...

Property Air Force US Army. Condition is good for it's 80 plus years, and is wearable. I've resisted the urge to bathe it in Pecards--I'll save that pleasure for the new owner. Shoulder to shoulder: 19.5".

Guy who owned it was definitely not flying a fighter.

My original Aero 21996 size 46 had the same measurements, Except the shoulders were a tad wider.

Yeah, either it has shrunk over the years - quite possible - or it's just typically not big as I have seen many a time...
