Two USAF A-2s

[Phantomfixer]

The first is, I believe a Saddlery in sz 42. The two small tags were removed. The cut and fit leads me to think a 42 R. I think this is one of the early Saddlery jackets because of the color of the goatskin, a nice dark russet. There are marks on the epaulettes on were to stitch,, kinda cool..

The second is tagged a 46R by Branded. Nothing special about these two jackets but thought I would post...

The Saddlery jacket appears to have been based on original Cable Raincoat A2s.

Based on the epaulettes? That would be cool to link them....The early Saddlerys were the best IMO, excpet for the underarm issue...The epaulettes were very well constructed and a nice taper

I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for the Saddlery A-2. My first vintage jacket.
