Its a creative collaboration. Not being a specific repro of any WW2 A-2, I think it merits some kudos for being something 'different'! Certainly, a one of a kind!

Shawn, you really should consider getting a beat up old original WW2 A-2 (if you have not already) and copy the pattern meticulously. Take the thing apart. And make your own, world-class horsehide WW2 original-maker A-2 contract-specific jacket. Get all the details right, and at the right price, you could do pretty well with it. It could return your original investment a hundred fold!

Brett,
if I understood Shawn correctly than this has not happened, yet.
Whenever I pointed him towards beaten up, ruined A-2s, he was more than willing to buy them....but sellers were reluctant to ship to Pakistan.
In general, you are right, if Shawn can get his hands on an original contract, preferably one that has not been copied by the other makers, than he might get back his money manifold.

May be someone should offer to drop ship it to him ,and the cost would be credit towards a new jacket .Shawn if you read this have the seller ship it to me in the USA and I will send it on to you . Thats when you find one you like !. Ties your Five Star A2 looks good now its worn in a bit .

Here is one at $170 ( get the pattern and the details you need ,repair it and get your money back )

Yes Ties, totally... You know what may be a good solution... (Shawn if you are reading this )
If a member here can get a hold of a rotting old WW2 A-2, thats decent enough to take apart, copy patterns from and study the details.... And then send to Shawn.
Perhaps Shawn could carefully replicate this jacket, with all the right bits in all the right places. Decent zippers, studs, seamless knit, all the right colours etc... Get it right.
Then he could make a jacket to spec, and send to the person who sent him the original, gratis.
As an idea
Would be more than worth it for Five Star.
