    Acceptable knit length on A-2 jacket

    Thanks, great link, Aero does run shorter than the rest. Anyway I like the longer waist knits, seems to fit an A-2 jacket better than the shorter ones. Pitty there ain´t a Buzz Rickson A-2 there, they seem to have 4 inch knits just like the B-10 and B-15 jackets.

The actual measurement is only some 6.4 cm and I...

    my new AERO A-2 CBI field modified

    thanks folks Well, thank you all for your compliments. I will post a few close ups of the jacket. Yes the color is top notch, superb, so is the craftmanship of the jacket. Aero did a great job.
