All A2's are the same....

PS, re my practical comment I should add that the lack of an inside pocket has always been the downside, especially these days with your mobile, wallet etc! I did get some lining material off Eastman some while back with the intention of making my own and hand stitch but have never got around to it!! The front 2 pockets are marginally better than an A1 but nonetheless the A2 looks good with snapped down collar or unsnapped - a discussion had here several times!

Both jackets have weak spots flaking and baldness

Sounds like my old granddad back in the day.

Basically all the jackets, even all clothing are the same

Which brings us back to doh, a deer, a female deer……….

If I buy an A2 it would be a very worn used one. I like my cars with full service history and one previous owner but I like jackets to be well worn and shabby.

Someone mentioned that to me one time - to get a used this or used that with patina, nicks, scratches. I disagree. I want that ring around the collar to be my sweat, dirt and body oil. I want the scratches to be because of something I did. I want it to be broken in by me. 10 years from now, I want it to tell MY story.

I would say yes ,, all the great A-2s cost an arm & a leg
