Size of A2 pockets - does those take an IPhone

I was just wondering if your repro A2:s front pockets can nicely accommodate for example an IPhone7 size phone. My AERO 42-15142-P where I only have customized the pocket flaps easily takes in a cigarrette box but in case of phone the flap cant be closed (not anyhow not even close to that).

I know in historical perspective those pockets were never designed for handys, because nobody could even have an idea one could place a phone or practically a computer inside of pocket ? But is there any differences between models providers or models.

My early Avirex (although not a highly accurate A-2 reproduction) will hold an IPhone 6 vertically and close. However, I never use the pockets for that or anything. When I am wearing my A-2 I keep my cell phone in a shirt pocket, or in the back left pocket of my pants. I consider the A-2 pockets fairly useless.

Here is the fit of my IP7/A2 pocket. Sorry abt the crappy quality of a pic. Also visible that civilian label of AERO, because I preferred more bevelled/curved pocket flaps and Sir Ken was willing to make those. I like jacket very much :) Maybe this is a New World issue

Not sure that even in the Old WWII World that many things fit in the pockets. Cigarette pack? Lighter? Comb? Wallet? Flying notes?
Just in this case a pack of Marlbaro (hard one) and a Zippo. So in thet way maybe historically correct

There is always a phone in my left pocket :)

I always carry my Samsung smartphone in my A-2 Star ELС left pocket without any problem when I wearing it.



My AVI Bronco has pocket bit larger and it fits for phone too.

Nice fit. By the color of the wheel rims of that plane should be a so called "governmental air ship" if still in active use nowadays. That russian broken shade of green and also in blue is just fantastic :)
