(Also listed on the vintage leather jacket forum) This A2 is probably quite famous now as it's a John Chapman's earlier piece, owned by our pilot friend here, kept in prestige condition, then owned by me, hung in the closet for its short six months (?) residence here. Now I'm passing it on!

for those of you who's not familiar with this hide, the creasing is "congenital", this horsehide is very waxy, a bit like the Horween overdye but thinner. The mint condition is best attest by the clean lining.

Beautiful jacket, regius! But those measures... I thought a size 46R would have larger measures, something like 20" shoulders and 25" P2P. I understand tag size in meaningless, but those measures indicate something like a size 42. Could you recheck?

Pretty sure the original owner measured the chest at about 24"? Beautiful jacket, Reg!

Will recheck, but you are talking about a WW2 Aero pattern here. If must I'll consult with John
