New A2

[Holty]

So, Last year I spoke to a few of you about getting my first A2. In the end I went with Bill Kelso and ordered on 10 April. Today I got an email from Andy saying it is on it's way! I will post photos soon.

PS I tried to add this post as a comment on our previous thread but couldn't find it.

My first A2

I went to your profile to see comments and posts you started...

 

[Holty]

I can't even see comments or posts that I started! I typed in the title of the post in the search bar too but no joy. I hate technology!

Well, after 9 months it arrived. And it's a lovely jacket. Even nicer than I expected. It's exactly what I wanted. Apart from it being too small.

Can you take some fit pics?

 

[Holty]

Yes, I will do that shortly.

Good paddock or measurement fail?

Ok here are some photos

Ok the next thing we need to teach you is …… no thumbnail photos .
when you post your photos simply hit the button that says full image, it just makes it easy on all of us .
Congrats on your new killer A2 !!!

Ok just had a look at the thumb nails . Definitely not trying to cause concern but how do you feel about your sleeve length ? They look a little short when you extend your arms. The sleeves of an A2 have a tendency to shrink up about 3/4 inch due to creasing over time . If you weren’t aware of it it might surprise you over time.
edit …… ok looked at your arms down photos . The sleeves look better in those photos . Must just look short when you extend like that.

Personally I find the fit very good.
When your arms are at your side, the sleeves seem to fall nicely.
It's a very nice A-2.
