The A2 jacket featured uses the un-named label which was a Doniger contract. It is a little like a Doniger with the pointed collar, but has a collar stand, so as the blurb says it's not really based on any specific original A2. The price is quite a lot lower than top end repros, so there is definitely a market for it. Now all we need is for someone to buy one and evaluate it.

Well done!! Very impressive website. We have all seen what can happen when a motivated collector & bespoke jacket maker launches a website!! And JC has done pretty well too!! 
Great work!! Added to favourites...

I actually like the look of that! I think a Goodwear is out of my league, and Eastman are going the same way, but I could see myself going for one of those, especially when the seal brown comes out. That looks better than a lot of repros I've seen. Like the site too-love the way the zip moves up and down to scroll.

The website & the jackets look excellent!!
I have to agree that for people like myself the fit would be the most important thing.
The options at the moment seem to be very limited (only russet HH with the orange lining).
Personally, I would prefer an A-2 without the collarstand myself.

I think they look good - I like the Greek angle too, from a personal point of view. Might wait and see what the seal looks like. The price is tempting, and there's something right about the look as well.
Having said that, I know next to nothing about A-2s except for bad repros and a few very beaten-up originals.

Terrific website!
I hereby nominate John Lever as our official VLJ guinea pig. Mr. Lever has only recently begun his foray into A-2 collecting, a few high tiered repros admirably now adorn his closets, his perceptions keen as he still maintains a fresh perspective associated with the welcomed beginner's mindset, and his finances are strong. Go John!
All in favor, say aye.

Looks pretty good, especially at that price point. The points on the pocket flaps are a little too sharp, IMO, but that's picking at nits. From the photos alone it seems like it could be a serious competitor for Gibson & Barnes and US Authentic... same price range, more "authentic" look. The web site itself isn't bad, either.
I'd definitely be curious to hear a first hand review. Any plans for long sizes?

Very impressive. Good luck to them. The forum is given a plug on their links page.
