The Vicenza on mine is THICK. I've owned roughly 5-6 Vicenza jackets and this one is the thickest so far. Not traditionally ideal for an A-2 but it doesn't bug me. Collar came out nice on this one.

awesome fit sir! The hide still looks barely broken in! I’m guessing it’s the aero 18775-P contract? I used to decide between this and the Bronco as the dark seal / rust knits are more historically accurate on the 18775-P but was worried that it would look too baggy on me. Now realizing how nice it looks on your slim body I am starting to regret my decision!

Either way you go will be fine.This one's actually a tad large, but I prefer it that way. I'm probably a 42-43; this one's a 44. But thank you. Yours is superior IMO!

I wonder if the Jerky HH is significantly heavier/thicker than the Vicenza? I'm trying to decide which hide to go for there.

@lipmann01 is that regular seal or ``dark seal?'' (Looks amazing, btw.)

I am a russet guy; however, that looks great. I only had two Aeros in the early days. Amazing jackets. The jerky had a decal and I have only had one A-2 with a decal since. It had the red knits too...

You have a jacket for a lifetime there Sir! Enjoy it!
