Probably will never buy from BK again, learned the hard way. Selling at a loss and moving on. Waited for six months for this Dubow, and the torso is just a tad short for practical use (I know, I read about the “shorting” over at VLJ after the fact). Prior to this one my last two BK A2 was when they first started. Tag size 46, if you don’t have a long torso like me, this is not a bad fit. The waistband is cinched rather tight compared to how GW, Aero, BR or McCoy do their waistbands. I myself also probably wouldn’t make it so cinched if I were to make flight jackets.
Shoulder width at front: 18, across back 18.5
Sleeves (straight line): 25
Back length 24 (the deal breaker, I measured a couple of time flattening the leather, definitely not any longer).
P2P: 22.75.
Note that there is a stretch of about 2.5” of edgewear on the right arm seam. Some faint edgewear also in the right cuff. The leather is not dyed through.
Zipper I requested NOS, feels about right, but check photo. compared to my stash of old MASH NoS hardwares when MASH has NoS.
Otherwise it’s pretty new, receives it in the Spring of 2025.
