FS: A-2 Jacket in Brown Horsehide by Robert Morgan. Size 44

[AirTransportCommand]

For sale is a very nice, and barely-used A-2 in dark brown horsehide by Robert Morgan of Crane Hill, AL. Size 44, and the arms and body are quite long for a regular, so it fits tall folks quite well. I usually wear a 42 Long in suits and most jackets and it fits me perfectly. Buyer pays shipping from Mississippi, USA. Payment via PayPal preferred. $175 OBO. Excellent jacket, with FAR more authentic details than usual for this price range.

Darn! You had me so excited up until I read the back length haha, everything else seems spot on but the back is way too short for me. Thanks anyhow!

How tall are you? I'm 6'3" tall (1.90 m)/ 190 lbs, and it's plenty long on me. I'm going to get it back out and remeasure. Admittedly, I was using a digital measuring tape, as I can't find a normal one.

Here's a shot of me wearing it, from my best side, LOL. It's not long like most modern cut jackets, but its pretty correct for an A-2. Like I said, I'm 6'3", and jeans are worn at normal, modern level (not douche-bag low rider, neither), but not hiked up like grandpa. I remeasured the back, and again got 23.5" from bottom of collar to bottom of knit waist.

Wow I’m surprised to hear that 23.5” fits you that well. I’m 6’4” and I have found I usually need 27” length in both back (Measured dame bottom of collar to bottom knit) and sleeve.

Like I said, this was a digital measuring tape, but the rest of the measurements it took were spot on, so I suppose the 23.5" is correct. But from the photo, you can see how it actually fits me at 6'3". Anyhow, no pressure. If it doesn't sell, I may use it for a 'painter' jacket.

How do you know it's horsehide?Also is the back 23.5 or 24.5? Thanks!

 

[AirTransportCommand]

It has a tag inside attached to the lining "Genuine Horsehide." Dead giveaway. .
The back is 24.5". I saw that in the comments just above we got confused in the conversation. The front from collar clasp to bottom is 23.5".

Also, made in the USA or just imported by Robert Morgan?

 

[AirTransportCommand]

That I don’t know. The tag in it is all I have. I bought it from another individual.
