    Shinki A-2 from RMC

    I wanted to add my RMC A2 into this thread. Size 42. I am 5'7 ~170-175lbs I agree that the armholes are tight, however I would not want anything bigger, and I love this leather.

    Looking for a "buy it for life" A2

    I thank you all for the conversation :) Can we pivot to three things here? 1. Which B-6 or similar to pick up? Based on what I read over on History Preservation I should be looking for about 6-8" in the chest with those..most (except Aero) in a 42 I've seen achieve that with a 24" pit to pit...

    It is a 42. I was between this and a 44 but I think the 44 would have been too long in the body, this feels like a great fit :) This is dangerous because now I am looking at a G-1 or a B-6.

    It is my opinion that we cannot judge a fit by a boot/jean photo alone, I also believe that nothing short of wide straight fit jeans look good with those..maybe a BIGGER cuff

    Looking for a "buy it for life" A2

    Thanks all! I like the darker seal skin look of the McCoy. Sizing wise it looks to be like the Eastman 1401-P Rough Wear. I know that Charles recommends minimum of 3", and I went down a rabbit hole of reading about proper fit last night..but also see that that a size 44 would be what I'd need to...

    Sure does, also pit to pit of 23" is pretty wide for me, I dont think I want that much space, but that's a great price indeed

    Depends on what size you wear. Sugarcane 1947 for instance..

    Thanks for all the advice. I will take a closer look at some of the Eastman offering as well. Original Maker seems to be more true-reproduction from what I gather?

    Is this the A2 that's classic A2 from Eastman? https://www.historypreservation.com/products-page/eastman-leather-brands/usaaf-a-2-flying-jacket-seal-brown-horsehide/

    Get wider pants, not cuff as much, etc etc. Those boots are so bulbous and overpowering, tight pants look terrible with them IMO.

    Looking for a "buy it for life" A2

    I am tempted to pick up a A2 to have because of how classic the jacket is. What I worry about is sizing - I am in the USA. I am looking at The Real McCoys right now, and worry about sizing. I measured my chest (with the help of my wife) over my Buzz chambray and am a tight 42" chest. THE REAL...

    I agree, they're very expensive. Some of the things we decide to spend money on, yikes. I will be honest and say: The details are nice, the soles are cool, different, etc - all things no one sees and will wear out. The stitching is fine, no issues I can tell. My Lofgren are just as nice and...
