    Hollowpond's Californian/Surrogates Style Half-Belt

    If I knew what it meant I'd probably object to it...

    Indeed not - look at Patton! ;-)

    World's Most Expensive A-2 Jacket Ever

    Ah, where's Jeff and his collar swoop when you need him?

    World's Most Expensive A-2 Jacket Ever

    I seem to recall that his earlier jacket was a Cable, but that later images show him in a RW. Am I mis-remembering this?

    World's Most Expensive A-2 Jacket Ever

    Ah, but are you SURE that Andrew didn't pull a consortium together to buy it? ;-)

    A-2 inset sleeve opinions please

    My 70+ year old AN-J-3 is my most comfortable leather jacket and a great wearer.

    A-2 inset sleeve opinions please

    My AN-J-3 is a good compromise - looks broadly similar to an A-2 from the front; like a G-1 from behind.

    A-2 inset sleeve opinions please

    If you look at the seams at the armpit they usually meet to form a cross. Not so in e.g. a Doniger sleeve, where the sleeve is rotated a little so the lower seam doesn't meet the side seam of the torso.

    Is Good Wear the only one doing the Perry Sportswear A-2?

    Yes, my last GW Perry 23377 was offered directly by John.

    A-2 inset sleeve opinions please

    Yes, I agree with Andrew. Having worn conventional (Perry) and inset/rotated (Doniger) sleeves, the latter do afford more arm movement. Nevertheless, neither offer as much movement as an AN-J-3 (bi-swing) sleeve.

    Worthwhile Alternative to Aero Leathers???

    Is Good Wear the only one doing the Perry Sportswear A-2?

    Not in this case, just a silhouette copy - nowhere near the real jacket (I've owned 5 Perrys and 2 GW Perrys over the years and the latest GW is spot on).

    Is Good Wear the only one doing the Perry Sportswear A-2?

    Best Good Wear A2 Model

    Ah, but Scott will pay the levy for me ;-)

    FYI: Eastman and Aero including undisclosed upcharge on overseas sales
