Very comfortable in arms and breast area, for pilots to work in the sky.
The low price of the jacket compared to other manufacturers led me to believe it would also offer less quality. After wearing the jacket every day for months now I can only say I was wrong about that. Both the leather and workmanship are top notch! Close examination of the stitching reveals this jacket was entirely made by hand which is a big plus. This is how it was done when the originals were made.
I can't comment on how much of a replica this jacket is as I don't own any original A-2's. However please note that the colour of the jacket in person is lighter than in the pics. The cuffs and waistband aren't black but brown as they should be. Also in the pics the colour seems to have some shading which is not present in the jacket I recieved. Mine had an even russet colour with a bit of a plastic-like appearance which is typical for vegetable tanned leather. I've aged mine to achieve the dullness and shading I desired but if you wear the jacket regularly this should occur naturally as the leather breaks in.
All in all a great jacket for a very nice price and actually the best leather jacket I've ever owned.
