Now that is for the person who finds A2's restrictive but is less fond of the mouton collar thing. I think it looks a little less military all round to be honest. Very nice looking jacket. Why more people don't offer them I have no idea.

Very honestly speaking, it's amazing. Photos don't do justice.

Asuming it will be in the mail soon?

You realise for the next few weeks I'll be driving the postman berserk :lol: :lol:

I have always been a fan of the seal leather and berry knit combo. Looks very nice!

The jacket will fly this week.

Offer that one in seal goatskin with/without epaulettes and it'll really do well Platon - fine job.

This is based an AN-J-3 but is a custom jacket I specifically ordered, as for epaulettes like Ian said, some came with, others without, I just like 'em.

Some time ago Platon and I had a discussion on an AN-J-3, to which I discussed more in depth with Andy, combining certain aspects of maker A-2's on an M-422 frame. It has a cotton lining, and A-2 knits, and minus the storm flap, and leather is HH. I'm sure if anyone requested a mil spec version it will come in goat, brown knits, rayon lining, and no doubt will be available for purchase as such, as soon as BK can get it on the website. As far as I'm concerned their work is top notch, and they're going from strength to strength.

Ok that's a great jacket.
AN mean a contract for Air Force and Navy.
I am looking for pictures of the jacket on duty during WW2 , USN and AAF

Platon , you and BK make a very beautiful jacket , a very good compromise with stylish A-2 look and confort of M422 / G-1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope to see it soon on your website

Thanks again for your great jacket !!

Thanks Marco. We try our best.

Some guys ask if there is a storm flap.
So here's one shot of the interior.

This is a very nice jacket, very impressed. Nice little subtle differences. Going completely off spec would could it be possible done with buttons and a Cossack style shawl collar?

If you order it we'll do it.

I am looking for pictures of the jacket on duty

I've not come across any - weren't they withdrawn before service?

That's what I've read too Ian, Never seen any active pics either, but there are 'rumours' of service out there, true or false? who knows . Probably why you only ever see them with Civvie labels, like my Doniger/McGregor one.

A little bit of mystery makes the jacket all the more desirable?
