Very informative Book all about A-2 Flight jackets can be found here:

http://www.eastmanleather.com/product_info.php?products_id=290

Afaik (also from my own experience) this two manufacturers are producing the most accurate (clones) of original A-2's,  today:

• http://www.goodwearleather.com/pages/index.html
• http://www.eastmanleather.com/

Of course, there are some more great companies around making nice A-2 repros, like AeroLeathers, Bill Kelso, Buzz Rickson's, RMC & more.

Deck jacket off the list now.  It's getting too cold too fast to wait on the IH alpaca one so I got RMC. Fecker's warm and beautifully built.

The jacket looks great on you!!!
I really like this one:

Maybe my choice for this Winter

[Blackheart]

Outstanding mac, as usual.

[mclaincausey]

Thanks y'all. I was nervous about it because I ordered from Japan and trusted their measurements on a 40 (42 being my normal size). Love the fit, trim but roomy enough for IH underneath.

[Blackheart]

I know what you mean about the sizing…Looks perfect on you, WWII jackets were on the fitted side, this
one nails that look completely.

[mclaincausey]

Thanks!  I wanted to look like those old pictures from WW2
