Jerry Lee's stuff varies from from run to run no matter what you purchase. His RAF stuff is highly controversial in the reenaqcting community. I bought his first run of British BD and it was like a bloody blanket. His newer stuff is way better (for the price) but still not like Panther store (which is dead on). I'm happy I bought my A2 before the second run. Sad that his Irwins have did the same, I sort of wanted one.
An update on this jacket: I love it. I added a nametag and it's at the tailor's right now pending Captain's bars on the shoulders. I've worn it more than any other jacket and seriously cannot say enough about it. I added a "ditching whistle" and will add a squadron insignia when I have one made ( in the works). I'm re-creating Yossarian's A-2 from Catch-22 and yes it's my everyday jacket.
A bad thing: Now I want more A-2s. Help, you folks created a crazed addict.
Not sure if you're my size but I am selling mine (see the first pages) as I have beefed up a bit over the last year and mine doesn't fit in the shoulders.
It has since had a Perry label added and I'm going to throw in an USAAF rubber stamp for the winged stencil which goes under the label - never got around to doing it myself.
PM if you're interested, otherwise I'll post it on the classifieds here when I get a chance to take some snaps.
