I don’t mean to sound negative but … what’s the purpose of this entire discussion? I thought that you wanted to learn more about A2’s, so that you could add one to your collection .

 

[John Lever]

Trying to understand why people are so obsessed with A2s.

At its core, the A-2 is a simple, elegant design. 2 patch pockets, epaulettes, knitted waist and cuffs.

A variety of makers playing on proportions, it's an understated, utilitarian design that works in our contemporary world + 50 years from now. Timeless.
