Looks like this one slipped by the quality control inspector.

Check out the collar… it’s not the fold … it’s just a bad sewing job.

Eastman A-2 Horshide Leather "Rough Wear" 1940's USAAF Jacket | eBay

It was used very little. I’ve had it for a few years. I have shown one area in the rear waist wool where there is a small hole. There are no significant wear marks in the leather, no staining.

Yeah, lovely hide, but one collar lobe is bigger than the other...

I think it's just one side snapped and the other not in the first pic.

Look at image 16, seems a little more symmetrical.

agreed with Chandler

Yeah …..now that you guys mentioned it … that does look to be the case .

My bad guys sorry

not at all, Burt. at first glance, I too thought same, but I just couldn't imagine elc screwing up a collar so badly. I than looked at the sellers pix, and decided that the first pc was a popsicle delusion.

A buddy of mine has an ELC 1401P in this hide. In person it's downright amazing how it's worn and broken in.
