I recently acquired a Protech A-2 from E-bay.

This brand was mentioned in the book "Hell Bent For Leather", I'd missed buying one about 6 months ago. The seller removed it less than 24 hours after he'd posted it on E-bay. This one came up and it was in the right size, maybe a little bigger than I wanted. I wear a sz 40 in an Eastman, and a sz 42 sleeves and body are usually a little too long. I decided to bid on it anyway, none usually notices because jackets are worn a little loose nowadays.
I was pleasantly surprised when I got it. It's marked sz 42, but it fits like a sz 41 short...which means it fits me pretty darn good, the sleeves and body are the exact right length and there's plenty of room in the shoulders. The jacket leather is seal brown goatskin, and about the same weight as a Cooper, not heavy, not light, which suits the temperate clime in which I live. All in all, if nothing more than that it fits great, I'm pretty happy with this repro..
