I have one too! 44- fits like a 46L. My favorite G-1 type jacket by far. It has that orange collar which is so hard to reproduce.

If mine were a repro I'd be annoyed by the button placement on the pocket flaps. 90% of ETCs have a really low button hole which makes for a characteristic look. Yours has it:

But my original has a pretty high button hole- uncharacteristic of Church's:

Nice fit - i own one by myself ...

Does yours also has those "boxy shoulders" like mine?
Yes ! I was surprised , plus the fact that the jacket had been stored with a thin hanger ( thin shoulders ... ) makes little tips . I try to remove that with conditionner and a regular wood hanger with large and thick shoulders . Let's see what happen . I'm happy with , it has never been worn so the break in process have begun . The end sleeves ( near the cuffs ) are wide too but it's a matter of time/ wearing I think . I swa a pic of you wearing this A2 on the FDL forum ;) with B/W pants and a USMC haircut !! and a thread here where we can see these boxy shoulders that's not bad . I can see similars on other pics on the web . How did the shape of yours evolved by time pics ?

looking good guys and props to Bronson which everyone seems to be including in their ensembles!!!
Yes ! It's a pity Bronson has so many "out of stock" items . I guess it's the ransom of success . I don't think they should grow to improve the mass production , just keep it like that to keep the quality/mid low price .
