Looks like a GW Combat Clone….You're all far too curious !
You'll see it in due course, probably in a few weeks.
But I'm already thinking about the next one... one thing's for sure, it'll be a GW. I had considered a B-3 Rough Wear (like Jan's and Mr. Mike's... absolute beauties), but I don't know if I'll have many opportunities to wear it. The bulkiness also scares me a bit.
Come to think of it, I've only got one A-2: the BK Dubow. I like it a lot, but I'd like a second one, something a bit different.
I'm thinking of asking John to make me an A-2, giving him almost carte blanche. My only instruction would be to get an A-2 as close as possible to an original, with a patina equivalent to what it would have had just after the war. So clone combat, AAF decal (or other), maybe even a name tag (not with my name, but why not a tribute to a real pilot).
The idea is to let John have fun designing a jacket as if he were making it for the movies, with authenticity/historical credibility as the only criterion.)
These are just ideas for now...
This particular jacket caught my eye :
