As above after a D-1 or B-6 in a size 44. ELC or Aero considered, need something a bit warmer/longer than my B-10 now. UK based please.

Back up for sale, just couldn’t get over a few bits on it. Tried a 46 and it’s a much better fit for me so sadly the 44 must go! Open to sensible offers.

Ok well looks like I got a better jacket than I thought. I’ll take that!

Oh interesting to know thank you very much, I’ve never seen one like this and with it being labeled as Experimental I thought otherwise.

I sold my Aero A-2 for a few reasons. Firstly I was just never 100% on the jacket fit, I loved the way it looked….just not on me and was slightly too short on the front for my liking. Secondly the leather although beautiful was just too heavy. A summer weight jacket being an A-2 but had to...

Found this on eBay earlier this week. Nice Aero Leathers “Experimental Test Sample” B-10. No idea on age but it’s practically brand new, had a nice £55 voucher to use on it too for some reason so got it for £225 posted. I was almost about to pull the trigger on a Buzz Rough Wear I’d seen on...

I will just wear the hell out of it and enjoy the process.

SOLD

Changed my mind on this for about the millionth time. Just going to wear it for the next few months and see how I get on! Post jacket purchase doubt is real.

It pains me to do this it really does as I wanted this jacket to be the one… Stunning Eastman Leather Rough Wear 27752 contract A-2 jacket. I bought this in August this year for £1299 and it has little wear since then. Sadly I just can’t get on with it as much as love this jacket. This would be...

Hi all, Regrettably putting this up for sale. Aero Leather Scotland 18775-P contract. Honestly it’s such a nice jacket but just doesn’t quite have the fit I was after (most likely me not the jacket) I bought this new in June this year (2024) so only have some light wear. A lovely seal brown...

Stopped off at the 95th Bomb Group today in Horham. Sure was colder today without the sun…need to find something fairly lightweight but warm to wear under this jacket I think. Anyway here are some photos including yet more original WW2 A-2 jackets. If anyone is interested I have a small...

Thank you. I’ll be sure to get some more photos tomorrow. Stopped off at former RAF Bungay (Flixton) too on the way back to where we are staying. Not much left of the place mainly farmland now but some old concrete hardstands still exist etc.

I did just that… 27752 being broken in as we speak! A trip to Thorpe Abbotts home of “The Bloody Hundredth” 100th Bomb Group today and off to “The Red Feather Club” 95th Bomb Group at Horham tomorrow. Some nice original A-2 jackets on display too.
