Aero Leather’s Real Deal A-2 is a great looking jacket. The fit is VERY different than the Goodwear A-2. John (GW) patterns it after the originals that could best be described as slightly pear shaped. Form fitting in the arms, shoulders and chest and more roomy in the belly. Aero Scotland (at least with their jackets I have worn) goes for a more present day straight or slightly triangle shape – board shoulders, thin waist. It looks cool but not historically correct. Old pilot photos show with many contracts/makers a more “tubby” look in the belly – just a little but not a popular cut today. Have to get back to you in re the armholes? I need to get my camera fixed (a minor thing) before I can post pics. Sorry
