WTB: Lost Worlds A-2 Flight Jacket (Horsehide) - Size 42 or 44

[NOSMFG]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been a long-time lurker on this forum, admiring everyone's incredible leather collections for quite a while, but I only recently bit the ****** and officially joined. Since this is my first post, I’d like to apologize if jumping straight into a "Want to Buy" request is a bit forward. I’ve checked the rules and noticed they mostly cover "For Sale" posts, but if this isn't allowed, please let me know and I’ll take it down immediately.

I’m finally ready to take the plunge and pick up my first serious piece. Once I get my hands on one, I’m looking forward to being much more active in the discussions here!

I am looking for a Lost Worlds A-2 jacket with the following specs:

• Size: 42 or 44
• Material: Horsehide (Must be horsehide).
• Condition: Looking for a jacket in great shape with no major flaws or noticeable damage.
• Hardware: Especially the zipper. I'm aware that the Talon zippers used on Lost Worlds jackets can sometimes be a bit fragile, so I’m looking for a piece where the zipper is still robust, smooth, and has no missing teeth.
• Price: Open to negotiation based on the condition and specific model.

If you have a Lost Worlds A-2 that’s just sitting in your closet and not getting the wear it deserves, please send me a PM! I’d love to give it a new home.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the heads up! I'll definitely check that out as well.

Why specifically Lost Worlds? Not bad jackets, but not as good as some other makers.
Yes, I've owned one and examples from almost every other decent maker out there.

I'm curious about what makes you said that, I've been looking around for another leather jacket and considered this brand too, and what are the other makers you are referring to as a higher tier ( quality wise, of course)?
