EBay sellers like this actually do me a huge favor...........
The guy posted many pictures of a certain brand of jacket (one that I probably would never have purchased for myself) and I get to see how well the jacked fared over time, and thus I can add that brand to any discussion I have with anyone seeking advice on which replica maker jacket is a good buy, and which to avoid.
Obviously the CHEAP Protech A-2 version did NOT prove to wear well or be a good value, and would not be recommended to anyone looking to purchase an A-2, flight jacket, or "bomber jacket". A $249 jacket might seem to be expensive or indicate a quality leather jacket for the uninformed buyer, but we all know that is not the case.....

for $49 it might do someone OK, if they have better knits put on.

the Protechs to me look like a poor copy of the Flight Apparel Industries jackets
