What is the correct/original size of the pockets, were they both big and small?
I think I favor the small pockets.

Nicest A-1 in the history of Fedora Lounge and anywhere on the Internet. The hide is to die for and the cut is a stunner. I was going to buy an A-2 but now I am changing my mind. I went to the site that sells these jackets and the man on the site wearing made this model of jacket really did not do it justice. Looks much better on you. Well done. I am very jealous.

There's some variation in pocket size, if you look over the original images (the Anything and Everything A-1 thread is a good place to start), but they were typically proportionately smaller than A-2 pockets and placed more centrally.
Here's the A1 page on GLC's website: http://www.goodwearleather.com/pages/type_a1.html
No price on either the capeskin or HH version, though. I think the capeskin looks better. I'm very tempted.

Anyone got a link to good A1 threads on the Lounge? You can't search using "A1". Just heard back from Vicky at GW. Year-long wait on the A1s, apparently!

Hm, yes, I've emailed but no reply. John actually messaged me out of the blue a while ago, in response to a post here, with some very useful information about his jackets.
I need to wean myself off Aero, and the GW prices are looking comparable now.

I love Aero, but to me, the A-1 they made/make looks a lot like an A-2 due to the pockets. Not that it's bad, just I like the original design better.For accuracy, I'll take the GW over the Aero every time.

Thanks rockabilly - it's a 48(+)Hey Butte, what size is this A-1? ..and to echo, great looking jacket by the way.
