No this ones staying a cleanskin, I need it to be as versatile as possible. My old faithfull on the other hand can now be put out to stud most likely wearing a beautifully aged patch by Ties- the same as the one he made for Ed Crabtrees (RAAF B-24 Skipper) jacket.a2jacketpatches said:

Andrew?
May I ask? Those originals you have don't fit you in a satisfactory way?

Andrew said:You do indeed need one Soren- hey wait, I have a sz 48 RMNZ Dubow if you're interested!flyboy said:Bugger!!!! After selling all of my A2's now I want one. I need one....
Now see what you've done...
Although I have lost weight last couple of months, sz 48 just might be too tight after all. But it sounds tempting. If you lived right around the corner, I would def come by and try it out though.

No they don't Platon. I'm a 46 long and I only have 48's and a 44. The 44 is too short and whilst the 48's are the right length they're way too roomy. I even owned 50 Dubow a few years ago and that was humungous but not terribly long. My theory has always been that in sizing up beyond 46 they only really increased the body width not the length.PLATON said:
This would make sense in a way as aircrew would have had a maximum height to be considered and people were generally shorter but desk guys would hVe had the same heights but possibly larger girths. It's ok as I only wear repros anyway as I'd hate to spoil an original and despite being in excellent condition they're not as fresh as a well made repro.

I've still got a GW/Diamond Dave Bronco 44, brand new in the unopened box since August 2015!
The box doesn't have much wear on it at all....

Oh my lord ! How can you resist the temptation ? A jacket needs wearing surely ?
If it were a 46 or 48 i'd be pm-ing you to see if it could be bought.

Andrew is one of the nicest blokes you could possibly meet and him and I had a hoot of a time in Melbourne a few years back doing our best to demolish one particular pub on Russell Street's stock of beer and whisky. Sad for us but not for him, Andrew has found a new passion in life, surfing, which I can vouch for and had me in its clutches for a few years until the "incident". Like Matt says Andrew occasionally still stops by but he doesn't really post anymore.

The NEW method of A2 jacket collecting.
THEN;
Once upon a time we collected original WWII A2 jackets, looking for that holly grail, an original unissed A2 in the original issued box.
NOW;
We are collecting unissued reproductions of original A2 jackets in the original issued box.
Huh!

One year turned to two and then three. No sense opening it now!..
Have plenty of other A-2s, B-3s and B-10s to wear. Also have the original Bronco 44 from Ken at Aero Leather's collection that I bought five years ago... No box but as good as new.
If I open this GW/Diamond then it only loses value.....
