Looks like the A-2 is breaking in nicely. Thanks for sharing.

Yes it is! It is my "go to" jacket from about mid Sept. to probably May. After that, it gets too warm for it. I found a wool zip up sweather with a flannel liner from LL Bean that fits under it real nice for when the therometer drops. I noticed on their website, that the price sure has gone up since I bought mine!!

The leather looks nice; I have one too, horsehide seal brown 42R from US Authentic. That's a great jacket.

I just got my us authentic horsehide in the mail today and I'm kind of amazed at how blousy it is! Seems like there's tons of extra fabric where there doesn't need to be. I'm actually happier with my $70 goatskin cooper.

Is there anybody got their indy jacket?

Sizing

How did the sizing run? I am looking order one but take something between sizes and am wodering if they run large or small?

I'm a little thrown off by the sizing. I got my horsehide a2 in yesterday and it's pretty blousy. I typically wear a 40L in mostly everything and that's what I ordered (Shaul agreed based on my measurements). However, there's a lot of extra leather in the back and under the pits which makes it look sloppy and not trim/military fitting at all.

at what time his jackets were spot on with the sizes

Not so much anymore? Have you heard similar that they run larger and blousy?

I had a US A A-2 for around ten years, and I always describe their cut/sizing as trim but long.

It was a size 44, yet both the sleeves and body length were nearly two inches longer than on my G&B size 46 A-2. (And keep in mind that G&Bs are notorious for having an "oversized modern fit"!) I ultimately sold it because it never really fit my short-and-wide frame right, and after I gained a little weight, it became too tight at the gut. I thought it was a swell jacket for the price... but strangely sized.

Never will I suggest anyone goes through US Authentic for a professional experience ! My return has taken over three weeks to process and still hasn't been refunded in full. When I inquired about the funds, I was told "it was done 2 days ago. Stop the bull". No return receipt was ever sent, so i wasnt aware of it. I was blown away by this response from someone who claims to be a professional leather jacket retailer on par with other companies such as Aero, etc. I wouldn't even expect that response from some guy working ar K-Mart!!

Sorry about your horrible experience, but I am not so surprised, when I did business with Shaul, he always had cold tone, only answer half what you asked, it's like I am asking him to send me a jacket,glad I returned his a2 HH, if I want a2, I go to eastman or aero, you always get what you paid, on both merchandise and customer service.

Meh, I learned my lesson. it should gave been a dead giveaway when my 40L was big and his initial suggestion for me was a 42L. Not sure he really knows his trade or his people skills. yea, it's Aero or Eastman from now on for sure!
