Thanks. Sort of what I suspected -- much like my modern G-1 from Flight Suits.Here are some. There are more out there...
I did say *modern* G-1.Except they don't have period correct parts...
None of the previous examples you posted look like this. What's different?I have never seen a hide like this from them:

That is a special hide. It's antique buffalo hide. It breaks in quickly. When it was new, the sleeves looked like the body. That is not artificial aging just a lot of wearing in rain downpours. The body has caught up a bit since those photos. That was years ago I took the pics.None of the previous examples you posted look like this. What's different?
And it may be just me, but those sleeves look a little overkill for my taste. And, lots of wrinkles on sleeves, but very little on the body and pockets?
Ah, okay this explains where I've seen that before. I knew someone with buffalo hide boots that broke in similarly.That is a special hide. It's antique buffalo hide.
Yes not too authentic for an A-2. That jacket is a 1950's style moto jacket. No epps, or windflap, and thick hide.Ah, okay this explains where I've seen that before. I knew someone with buffalo hide boots that broke in similarly.
Not my choice for an A-2, but interesting.
I'm just looking forward to a member getting one of Jay's jackets made correctly within a year of ordering it (or communication to tell you its going to take that long)Looking forward to seeing fit pics from forum members
Thanks!Just ordered a 44. Hoping Jay comes through.
