The Push and Shove is history!
Moved up to the next level …a pimp cane!
Today wore an old but lesser known favorite. A SEFTON A2. For the newer guys in our group, before there was Good Wear, Platon or Eastman Leather. There was one of the very first makers of a quality reproduction A2 jacket. The SEFTON Clothing Company, located in the UK. They made great looking A2 jackets at a very reasonable price. However, increasing production costs and competition eventually caused the company to go out of business . If any of you have an opportunity to acquire one of these A2 jackets… don’t hesitate … grab it… They are difficult to find but hold their value . This one came to me by way of our very own Macawber. Thanks mate!.

Thanks for your response and again welcome to VLJ.
Poofier or puffier.Technically yesterday, but within 24 hours so I guess that counts?

First shot at a leather flight/bomber jacket (I had a biker-style jacket several years ago that I never really got attached to). This is a Taylor's N143 that looks mostly A2-ish to me and at a friendly price point.
At 6'5" it's tough to find something that fits correctly height-wise without being too full of a cut. This jacket feels "poofier" than I was hoping, but looks less marshmallow-ey in the pictures so I guess it's okay for a starter.
Of course, I'm already looking around at other ones, too, so maybe it's just a gateway drug.
