    FS New Spearhead Militaria A2 Seal Brown Horse Hide sz 46

    Here are pictures of the 2nd jacket sent to me. The jacket is so stiff, it stands on its own. As you can see, the color spray has flaked off of the jacket in many spots. The lining shows where bleeding of dye caused a green stain. I am afraid the only place I would wear this jacket is in a...

    FS New Spearhead Militaria A2 Seal Brown Horse Hide sz 46

    Its more than just the dye. The leather is modified cardboard, I will get some pics up tomorrow. Awful piece of junk, you'll see.

    FS New Spearhead Militaria A2 Seal Brown Horse Hide sz 46

    I sent this jacket back because it was too big for me. I was decently impressed at the quality of the leather so I requested a smaller size jacket. when it arrived, it had a very strong acetone type smell. I let it air out. It fit me fairly well, a little large. But the leather had me...

    What About Hoodies Under Leather Jackets?

    I have been looking for a zip up close fitting sweat shirt, to layer under my A2 leather jackets in colder weather. One that is short enough so the waist knit is at belt level, with no hood, no fold over collar, just exactly like a sweat shirt, only with a zipper. I have never seen something...

    Bill Kelso A2 Jacket

    What exactly do you mean? Too long, thick, stiff, too wide...? Here is a pic. Looks normal to me.

    Bill Kelso A2 Jacket

    I bought a Bill Kelso "house" A2 in russet. It is a 42, which is my normal size. It was quite snug, but with some wear and stretching, it is quite a nice fit. The leather is a "squeaky" leather, stretchable to a degree, but looks on a par with G&Bs russet leather (though I have never seen a...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Metal bandaid boxes. I still have 2 of them. When I need new bandaids, I refill the metal box. I don't remember when I got these, must be at least 25 years ago.

    FS New Spearhead Militaria A2 Seal Brown Horse Hide sz 46

    I ordered a Spearhead Militaria A2 in Dark Seal Brown Horsehide off of E-Bay. From Singapore, and made in China. Since they had said they run snugly and I wear a 42, I ordered a 44. This jacket is too large for me. It is more like a 46. I thought rather than send it back right away, I would...
