I ordered a custom seal goatskin A2 from US Authentic a couple of weeks before Christmas. I needed a custom because my build. I'm 5'5" and 120 pounds when healthy (I lost weight due to kidney failure and now im 107 pounds. None of my clothes fit like they used to. Luckily I received a kidney transplant recently and I hope to gain that weight back. My goal is 125.)
So this jacket has a bit of extra room right now but still is a very good fit. The size is basically a 34 short. The only custom mods I requested was the addition of hidden handwarmer pockets and an inside pocket. Shaul was great to deal with. I'm impressed with the quality of the jacket. I own two Aeros and a Lost Worlds so I understand the differences in quality and this jacket is a great deal for the price I paid. The stitching is tight, and build quality is great. I couldn't find any flaws. The goatskin is thick, but supple. The fit is very good. Sleeves are perfect length and width. Back length is 23 inches. I noticed the shoulders drop a bit. I'm hoping a few extra pounds will reduce this.
Overall I'm super happy. It's a much better jacket than my old/new "generic" A2. My old one was a "Small" and fit like a size 40. Two thumbs up for US Authentic.
The new jacket vs old jacket sleeves. The old one had huge puffy sleeves.
The fit pics are not very clear sorry. I did the best with what I had on hand.
