O.K., don't bash me. I am a newbie. I have never owned an A-2. And, some will say that even after buying this one, I still don't. But after returning one Crap-Bay jacket that didn't fit, I picked up this one for less than $100. It is a size 44 genuine goatskin and fits me nearly perfectly. It's old, has some fading, and some stains, but I can wear it whenever I want without worry. And, most importantly, I can measure it and use it as a reference point for ordering a quality repro. if I ever decide to spend the $$ to do so (my wife would kill me if she knew what the repros. cost, but what she doesn't know, won't hurt her - or me.) I am yearning for a Dubow seal brown from Platon. That will be next. Platon doesn't accept returns for non-fitting jackets. So, the cost of this one is well worth it to me to make sure I order the right size.
