Hi all,
My Knopf N-2a finally arrived today, Custom's etc, don't ask! But now its finally here, I could not be happier. Nylon in great shape, mouton is also great, no balding, all zips in perfect working order, few small moth nips in knits, but overall superb condition, better than I expected. I'm a 38 chest and although its marked as a large, this one fits perfect and when measured against my medium N-2b is the same size. Its my first bit of 50's blue nylon and I must say the quality of the Nylon is superb. Knopf N-2a had no stencil on the arm, and the buttons I put on are brown from MASH, the are closer to the buttons on original buttons on the jacket than blue would have been.
Just to add fighter jocks wore them to!!
All the best
