After several attempts searching for my perfect A-2, finally, I think I have found one that checks all the boxes. This example is 1 of 50,000 made by Poughkeepsie Leather Coat Co. under contract No. W535-AC-28560 in fiscal year, 1942.
The condition of this jacket is amazing, considering it is over 80 years old. All parts are original to the jacket.
The leather is supple and has developed an amazing patina during action, it does have that "been there, done that" look.
Knits are solid, which is very rare after 8 decades.
The pale tan lining is mint and has the AN stamp from inspection.
The contract label is intact.
Talon zipper is solid and works perfectly.
Needless to say, finding A-2's in this condition is becoming more and more rare and being size 42, makes it a perfect fit for me.
That being said, enjoy it guys!

Jorge
