Looks like a nice jacket. I like LL Bean's goatskin A-2s. Not exact repros, and not celebrity maker, but decent jacket. Sleeves too short for me, and I still have the one I bought circa 1989. 100 bucks? Good deal. GLWS

The old-school Made in the USA numberic-sized A2s from LL Bean are, to my mind, some of the best value A2s out there! They wear like iron, look very good, and their pricing (especially on the secondary market) is wonderful. This is a bargain of a jacket! :)

This exact jacket is my daily wearer in the San Francisco Bay Area for running errands during the winter months. The goatskin is light, the thinsulate lining is warm, the pockets are handy, it goes with jeans and a variety of different fedoras, and overall, the thing is kind of indestructible. It's the kind of jacket you can use and abuse and not worry about. The LLBean older vintage is preferred IMO because there is no unsightly back seam. If you're not a jacket nerd and simply want a great leather jacket, I don't think you'll find a better all-around value than this. Just my two cents :)
