Just what is the right length for a A2 Jacket.
Should it be tight on the waist.
Should it be long enough that the waist band slightly (all of it ) disappears under the leather ?
I know that does not look good on the sleeve length - sort of tunnelling.
Any pictures of the perfect length of your A2.
I guess when you stick your arms in the air does it go up your back or should that never happen and there is always material there.
I am sure I read somewhere that the pilots wanted in tight to the waist so that it would not rub on their backs as they flew but as I have no plane !! ...whats the real deal now guys.
Of course their is always a a personal preference choice in there somewhere but I would love to see the best ones lay.
I look at old war photos and some are close to the waistband of the trousers whilst other jackets overhang a fair bit.
Help me please.
