I am not a big A2 fan in general but THIS ONE is bitchen. Almost the whole jacket has amazing HH Graining........ a California Sportswear model. Knits are Meh..... but certainly acceptable by my standards---I've seen much worse. And YES, its a SMALL because, OF COURSE it is!! $199 BIN w Offer option. If this doesn't sell fast then someone is missin the dang boat.

Hell yeah!!! Money very well spent bro!!!! A Cali HH with THAT graining for THAT price!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!? Hawt Damn!! Glad someone here grabbed it. I would categorize this as AT LEAST a great deal if not a total STEAL---I'm leaning toward the latter. Great Get!
Thanks. Yeah you can’t go wrong for that price. Plus I don’t have a Fonzie style jacket in my stable.

I don’t know if a lot of other TFL members feel similarly but these Japanese sites that don’t cater to an international market are inaccessible and I immediately disregard them. Am I wrong to think that way? Purchasing from them does not seem straightforward. It’s like getting a kidney through back channels.

Can always count on a Californian to deliver. Love that jacket. I have three of them. LOL. and two project ones in that style. One of the luxuries of that particular one is the lining. Love that lining.

Yes, Dave's work. He is a Monarch nut as you see plus his love for the Scully Bros. Dave and I talked frequently several years ago as he was moving from repairs/restorations to making a jacket line.
The last Monarch pictured above was probably made from a Monarch jacket I owned. It had a "fake" California Sportswear label. Dave recognized it as a Monarch. I sent him the jacket. It is probably the finest fitting half-belt I have owned. Monarchs just has a cut. Dave has a real thirst for knowledge, he does his homework.

I also love his work on the G-1 types. He is very knowledgeable. An excellent resource in any forum.

And from what he posted it's not a 40 there's no way a 40 has these measurements:
肩幅 45cm
脇下身幅 45cm
着丈 62cm
袖丈 62cm

Shoulder width 45cm
Armpit width 45cm
Length 62cm
Sleeve length 62cm
