Original A2 possible private purchase

[Jon Crow]

A new one coming, possible private purchase by the khaki lining, needs a good oiling, talon zipper works that looks to be a late 30s mid 40s talon, knits are a bit ratty apparently but its in shipping so will see when it arrives, anyone recognise the style/cut? It didn't cost me a kings ransom though, and label is missing

I’d post at vintageleatherjackets.org
they are the A2 experts

I agree. There are a lot of experts on these jackets on the vlj forum

I am not an expert. Very nice jacket and does appear to be A-2. However, is the knits, zipper and lining are original to the jacket then it is a post WWII. The knits are consistent with late forties and fifties. Additionally, A-2 had a different color and type of cotton lining. Lastly, the zipper. Those were used post WWII.

The VLJ forum members are very knowledgeable. I believe they will be properly described the jacket much better than me.

Thanks for sharing with us.

I'd be worried about leather cracking on the shoulders and back.
