Good looking jacket Thomas !today in Bremen which is in the far North of Germany (countryside plain like a pancake) and "found" a mirrored lift again (think those guys here in the "plainlands" are all narcissistic) ...
5* A2, waistcoat by BRONSON, plain White Shirt, LEVIS 501, RW engineer-boots and "US MAIL" satchell also by BRONSON
GeoffHello everyone, I am relatively new to the forum, but have posted a couple of times in Care and Preservation regarding a Martin Lane G1 from 1968 I bought. I have been regularly lurking a long time and have gained so much knowledge from you guys - I am very grateful. I just bought a new Aero Leather 38 1711 P A2, which I thought would be nice as a first contribution to this thread. I was going to get a custom made but spotted this in the sale section for £550 - a saving of £85. All the measurements seemed to be my size - I'm 42/44 (the A2 is 44) - and the jacket was made in my first choice horse hyde in seal brown with rust knits, so I pulled the trigger. I love this jacket very much, the quality is incredible, it seems historically very accurate, and I particularly love the collar. The sleeves seem a smidgen long at the moment but I think they will ride up with wear [emoji5]. I'm wearing it as often as poss to break it in, but it's mostly B10 weather in the UK at the moment. Please excuse the washroom environment for my pics, but I was in Marks and Spencer so very clean, and the only full length mirror available not in public [emoji5] Thank you for allowing me to share[emoji106]

That's very kind Nick, but I think you are being far too generous - your jacket is absolutely stunning. In the future I would like to have a russet brown A2, and when I do yours will basically be it, and yes, I'll buy an Aero again for all the obvious reasons.
Nice photo..... nice sunburn......nice car... in a great spot in France no less!
Hahaha...good one JW .. I bet running into another chap wearing an A2 in the loo is a real ice breaker .
Looks very nice mate
