    Which G-1?

    A few cents... Nothing beats a good original, yes. However, from personal experience, I will never buy an original again unless its in 100% condition. I wasted a lot of time and money and stress, refurbing one a while back (cleaning, knits, lining and zipper). Not worth it, sorry. That said...

    ELC Star A-2 vs. Bill Kelso Star A-2??

    Hi Drew, I've owned many (too many ;) ) ELCs, BKs, GWs, Aeros, and originals etc... Currently own 3 BK A-2s, among others... Very happy with the jackets. Where are you based? If you are UK, I'd agree with Sloan regs ELC, or USA with History Preservation - you could at least try one. Stars, as...

    Is this an M422a?

    GoodWear Monarch 23378 A-2 46 (more like large 42 or 44) F/S

    An opportunity presented itself to buy this London-based russet GW Monarch without seeing it. Although its tagged larger than I’d normally wear, the measurements seemed like they could possibly be ok (not far off from my last ELC RW1401 42long). I've been after a russet A-2 and John's Monarch is...

    GW Monarch. Just received. Bought of the original owner here in the London, had to try... Unfortunately, its a size big on me, so will be going to the sale page. Its russet shinki, tagged 46, but more like a large 42 or regular 42.

    WTB — horse A-2 in 44/46 L or XL?

    Hi Matt, For me, definitely the Seal liberty. By far most original A-2s I've seen were of a mid brown seal colour, the shades vary of course. Also a great many russet browns of varying hues and shades. Some would agree they've seen more russet A-2s than anything, I guess it depends where you...

    WTB — horse A-2 in 44/46 L or XL?

    Hi Matt, I feel your pain. I also have the long arm issue lol I have owned jackets from almost everyone, A-2s, G-1s, M-422as, etc GW, ELC, BK, Platon, Aero, dozens others, incl originals. You will struggle. Long sizes are not common, esp in larger sizes. It will have to be custom. You best bet...
