The Real McCoys

I'm gonna guess it's because he's 8 feet tall and built like a praying mantis, so the proportions are probably all out of wack for him.
(You know I love you, right, TMT?

Chis~ WHY YOU,.....!!!!! jkjk, All love brother, no worries... especially when it s the truth

Davito's a Dubow contract, no idea about the other:
-
Bullit's is a fictional contractor, but the town listed is the same as Rough Wear, a real A-2 contractor (i think the most prolific one). My guess is that this is a reproduction of a Rough Wear.
Dave's is also a fictional contractor, but the listing of Chicago and the contract number do point to it being a Dubow reproduction.
My RMC has a reproduction Rough Wear label and you wouldn't know it was an RMC unless you looked at the tag inside the left pocket. Interesting how they change things up over at RMC JP.

Thx all for sharing, very cool. Thanks FH
Mclaincausey could you please post your contract label as well, great info man, thanks again
Just found this link about lots of details from diff manufacturers of the A2
-
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:
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 -
Outstanding mac, as usual.

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.
