Of interest to me.....which no one has commented on....is the lack of top stitching around the cuff knits ( which I thought was a '38 Aero characteristic ) and that the stitching for the pockets and flaps runs through into the lining,...sooooooo were the pockets and flaps sewn on after the jacket was closed up?

The cuffs appear to be replacements, as is the waistband. The waistband has been top stitched using the original stitich line, but the replaced cuffs have clearly not been top stitched. I have also owned A2s in which the pockets have been reinforced by additional stitching through the lining.

Yes, its the very same jacket, which is now on Ebay for the third time in three to four weeks. It's most likely a size 40 or small 42.
