Hi all, I thought I'd introduce myself properly -- I popped by one of the A2 discussion threads a couple days ago. I got interested in leather jackets last year
and purchased an Aero Hooch Hauler Black size 38. It fits great -- quite snug when I wear a heavy sweater, which is to be expected for that model of jacket.
The sleeves and back are 23 inches and fit quite well. In fact, it was the first leather jacket I've ever purchased that fit me correctly. And the first proper leather jacket...
My interest in purchasing an A2 came from purchasing an A1 style jacket (you guys know how it is). I've attached some pics -- it's a Valstar Valstarino lined bomber jacket. They're made in Italy. It's goat suede so I don't even want to wear it when it's cloudy, in case it rains! (That happens a lot in NZ.) It's very different from the war-ready jackets I've seen on the forum.
I'd be interested in hearing your wisdom and experiences with Aero's A2. I've been in contact already and they've suggested either the Bronco or 1938 contract -- they are the slimmer models. Any suggestions for the kind of leather & colour? -- I was thinking Russet. My Hooch Hauler (as I mentioned previously) is a heavy HH leather. Is that OK for the A2s?
Many thanks!
