Hello Mulceber, my name is Adolfo, I am from Peru, a fighter jet pilot, and for some time I have been interested in the a-2 jackets, I would like to buy a 1401p from Goodwear, I am writing to you because according to what I read in the forum, you are one of those who knows the most about jackets, can you help me with this please?
If your thinking of thinning your sizeable herd in the near future I'm looking for another original A-2 in size 42. After more than fifty years of wear and tear its come time to put my ole Doniger goat out to pasture.
I'm not a collector so I'm just looking for a wearable jacket for a respectable replacement.
Thanks Doug
I caught your thread about downsizing and after more than fifty years of wear and tear on my original Doniger its come time to hang er up. So I'm looking to buy another original A-2 in size 42 that's still wearable if you have one you may be willing to pass on in the near future.
Thanks Doug

I've learned through trial and error and a lot of expense that any original contract A-2's in size 40 are to small and 44 to big but any size 42 always fits me just right. haha
And I have an original Dubow AC-27798 with size tag 42 and it fits like a glove but the horsehides cracking up. Another original in goatskin would be nice.
What have you got?
Hey Grant ~ I was looking through the club back-list and spotted a reply from you to a fellow member a year ago that you had a number of original A-2's in size 42.
I prefer the look and feel of the originals and after over fifty years of wear an tear on my ole Doniger its come time to hang er up for display only.
So if you still have a few A-2's still wearable in the $1000 - $1500. range it might suit me fine?

Hi- I'd like to use your latest photo of the Dubow for a critique of the Eastman Dubow. It won't be all positive- is that OK? Otherwise I can use internet photos. The jacket LOOKS great but it has flaws as a Dubow copy.
Sir! I would like to ask you a favour, please. I want to make a collar for my French PN jacket from some spare mouton fur I have and would like to know what the measurements would be. Would you mind awfully measuring your collar - the length towards the neck (with the button holes) and the outside length. That way I would get the angle of the points right. Ta muchly in advance, Hazayad
