I had one and for me anyway it was like the usual A2 fit size fore size, if you have burley upper body shape it’s going to feel tight regardless. The same reasons what makes a G1 more comfortable than A2. Having said that I had more people asking about the jacket than any G1, A2 Ive worn but...

If your in the US you have a great selection of brands, if your looking for highwayman styles check out Bates, Vanson or Langlitz. There are others but these are the only ones I can remember.

I have visited Normandy a few times with different family, on the occasion I was with my elderly in-laws who knew were they were on D-Day we visited a museum close to Sword Beech, as we left they said there is no mention of of England having even contributed, nothing. I suspect all schooling...

Just for reference, is there anyone in the UK that offers the same type of leather jacket services?

Just wondering from over the pond UK, where would any NOS examples of any contract really first ever turn up for sale in the US and how do they come to light over the years? Examples like this for one would never make it over here and owning a jacket from the film that started if for me Toko Ri...

Totally agree with you on the G1 in every way and your A2 comments especially about the shoulders, they fit more like a suit does. I bet the average young men back then in WW2 had a slim build and lean and fit from training. G1’s suit me better anyway:)

Hi Jan, just noticed your post thanks. With regards to potentially fixing this issue with pliers does this point to the zipper being deformed at the bottom and needs carefully bending back?

Fore give my obscured face, my recent M422a from BK apparently it was my fault for choosing a vintage mouton collar. And anyone seen a collar sit like this? Not happy at all.

I got my Cable A2 48R 2 days ago, very snug which was surprisingly after size exchanged and then this. Got my M422a recently with issues but will have to let them respond but no issue’s should happen with a new jacket at those prices.

$600 I recall and totally agree with your point, only heard of AVI afterwards and then acquired which are better in every way. I dropped the jacket hobby for quite a while and was surprised how many new ‘repro’ makers there are now.

Covid in 2019 robbed me of a visit to New York and a visit to The Cockpit store, intended to buy something that looked and fitted right. Due to my shoulders & back ‘not obese’ the G1 by swing back is a better choice for me and when my mate was there last year, to save on postage and import duty...
