Orchard HH A-2 On Sale

[442RCT]

Looks like Orchard has their seal brown HH A-2s up for bid on the bay with a start of $ 125.00 if anyone is interested.
Same deal as last time, if you win, you contact them and request the size you want.

What type of finish are they using on their horsehide? From the photographs the jacket appears to be very rough with no shine or gloss, kind of a matted or dull look.

Hmmm, you're right it doesn't have a smooth looking finish in some of the pics.
If you're interested, you can call the Orchard rep. Pete at : 718-361-2072

Can't believe any members here would go for it??
To each his own I guess but that looks awful (IMO)!!

Happy Friday

You'd be surprised at what some of us would buy, I have a closet full of Avirex lambskin noseart jackets, a couple of Cooper, a Willis & Geiger, a Banana Republic and an assortment of other "orphan" A-2s, to prove I have no taste. (my definition of an orphan A-2 is what the guys here call a 2nd or 3rd tier A-2), luckily for me none around me cares, nor could tell what an 'authentic' A-2 looks like. :lol:

Until I joined this forum, I didn't know one A-2 from another. Now I do. Cuts down the options to buy, unless you can live with one that is simply not spot on, which I'm presently doing. Knowing can be a curse on the budget. Ignorance is indeed bliss.
