    F. S. 1950 Front Quarter Horse Hide Leather Indian Ace 1 Rider Jacket

    Are those shoulder measurements correct? Looks far long for a size 40

    H.L. Block M-422a

    A-2, part two. Time to go shopping.

    I do have an A2 jacket from one of the high end makers. Quality and workmanship A+. Accuracy bar choice of leather likely A+. Could I imagine myself wearing one in 1943? Not really. At risk of being arrested as an Axis spy.

    The ultimate bad-guys of cinema-history?

In BATTLE OF THE SEXES he is the opposite as a kindly...

    Aviator Sunglasses

    A-2, part two. Time to go shopping.

    For my two bobs worth. The Aero Jerky Russet horsehide is about the most authentic looking WW2 A2 leather IMO if that is what one is after. The leather used for most high end manufacturers A2's just looks and feels too luxurious. There is a conundrum there.

    Name the Actor...

    This is a screen shot from Starlit Days at the Lido, an experimental 3 strip technicolor musical short from 1935. Yes it is the Ambassador Hotel.

    Aside from Mr Obvious who is the lady next to him and name of film? Might raise a few eyebrows.

    Price differences between different hides

    I had one of those Schott 4 in 1 A2's in lambskin. Lasted quite well but I did tear a decent hole in the right sleeve near the shoulder. Not sure how it happened. It just appeared.
