Congratulation on the first jacket, Jeff! 
, so it is true, impossible just to have one A-2 jacket!
By the way, how's the fit? is it true G&B have a modern " loose " cut? What's your height?
This morning i just received GB horsehide samples, very tempted by the russet , i should admit.

Atkins,
I'm 5'8" and about 140 lbs. This is a size 38, which is what I wear in a suit jacket. It doesn't seem baggy to me. Although it is shorter on me by about two inches than the G-1 issue to me in the Navy. The other difference from my G-1 is the arm holes seem to be a little lower under the arm pit. I can't compare to the other repros or original WWII originals but it seems like a normal fit to me. I can wear a shirt and maybe a light sweater before it would look too tight. All in all, I think it's a great jacket and great fit. I dealt with Amy Garcia and she was great. Amy answered every email and phone call, and I sent her a ton of emails. I even received a follow up phone call yesterday asking if I was happy with the jacket! Excellent customer service... I highly recommend them.
