FS: Vintage Golden Bear A2 Bomber - 40

[Andrew Mier]

Hi All, I have a vintage Golden Bear A2 bomber that doesn’t fit me quite right (a bit short in the sleeves) but its a shame because this is in immaculate condition if you ask me. Was a tagged size 42 but fits more like a 40

Beautiful chestnut brown leather, supple and perfectly broken in with burgundy diamond quilted lining through the sleeves with zero tears and a Talon zip.

Measurements are as follows:

Chest: 22”
Shoulder: 18.5
Sleeve: 24.5”
Front Length: 24.5”
Back Length: 24”

Asking $225 shipped, looking for a quick sell, so feel free to shoot an offer

Wow this shouldn’t last very long.. those older golden bear made in USA are fantastic jackets and made very well. I had an a2 years ago and I regret selling it! $225 out the door is a deal and should move quickly. I’m a 38 otherwise I would snag it.

Yes! Definitely has some amazing construction and the leather has aged beautifully. I’m a sucker for the quilted lining and would keep it if it fit, but unfortunately the sleeves are too short for me.

Hoping to pass this to its next home quickly

Catch and release - this jacket is back up for sale. The leather is beautiful and in great condition given it's age but never cracked my rotation - I usually reach for my Simmons Bilt or Rainbow Country instead.

OP's pictures/measurements are accurate but I'm happy to take additional ones for anyone interested.

Selling for the same price I paid - $225 shipped CONUS

Is there back length to the bottom of the knit? Same question for the sleeves. Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply - here are some pics with tailor tape measurements.
