Leather A2 Jacket Info

Hi all,

New poster here. 2 Questions...

#1. Does anybody have any information on this jacket? All I know is that it was purchased in Sweden and is supposedly WWII era. I have not been able to find anything through Google. Ballpark range worth? if that is answerable.

#2. This jacket is very big on me; goes a few inches below my belt and is a bit billowy. Is there any miracle way to size this for me, or would adjustments be a lost cause?

Thanks! Stumbled across this sub researching jackets and you seem to be very knowledgable folks on the subject.

*Attaching photo. Hopefully it uploads.*

-Noah

Hi Noah,

Welcome aboard.
1. This is not a proper A2, more like an 1980's "mall jacket". There were tons of makers of these types of jackets in that time, almost none are accurate, more loosely based on an A2.
2. Value, Maybe $100, if it doesn't fit you there's not much to do, sell it off and get something that does.
Sorry, no collector value here at all.
