    Goodwear A-2 vs. Californian Ventura

    Good choice Joel. I sold a seal GW Perry 42-16175-P recently and the colour complements the brick red lining, knits and brass Conmar very well. It's a comfortable jacket to wear too.

    What Jacket are you wearing 'this month?'

    Doniger/McGregor AN-J-3 in capeskin today - blustery wind and showers...

    Best A-2 picture threads?

    Try 'Acme Depot A-2' and you'll find a breakdown of contract patterns (ditto the Good Wear Leather website).

    Replacing the lining on an A2.

    ...or Reading ;-)

    What Jacket are you wearing 'this month?'

    It had warmed up a little for a few days so ELC A-1 in capeskin.

    Replacing the lining on an A2.

    I stand corrected - that doesn't sound so expensive (the prices quoted in the UK were somewhat higher).

    Replacing the lining on an A2.

    Hi JB You don't mention whether it's an original or a repro, which might modify my response, but assuming that it's a repro... If you opt for a reline, the job is more expensive/time consuming than you'd perhaps first think. Your tailor will need to remove the lining completely and will...

    How does A-2 Sizing Work?

    James Dean is wearing the 23377 in goat. Of the two GW Perrys, I think this one is reproduced more accurately with John's latest goat, although the 16175-P is also a cracker...

    How does A-2 Sizing Work?

    I know nothing about Aero sizing, but I think a GW 46 would swamp you.

    How does A-2 Sizing Work?

    Joel I've had two GW Perrys (HH and goat) and 5 originals in these contracts. It sounds like you'll need a wartime 44... Good choice! Ian P.s. I'm also a 42" chest with a shirt on.

    What Jacket are you wearing 'this month?'

    Currently an ELC B-10 as the weather has turned cooler.

    No problem Nick - easy mistake to make! Best Ian

    FS: Eastman Leather Company B-10 (size 42 long)

    Thanks Nick, the longer size is rare and attracts a premium when ordering from ELC. I'm not so tall 5'9", but I now have a 44" regular and this is around 0.5" shorter. The sleeves should be fine for you - the knits are longer than an A-2. The collar is naturally more open (like a Doniger A-2)...

    Thank you - it's a very practical design and apparently one of the best repros around (I haven't handled an original so I can't comment). Great attention to detail throughout.

    Hello All I recently bought an ELC B-10 in a size 42 (long) through the Vintage Leather Jacket Forum. It's in near perfect condition (knits/zipper/mouton/lining/stamp/emblem all present and correct). There are no marks, stains or odours. I've been wearing it regularly during the colder...

    *SOLD* Immaculate 1920's 2pc Gentleman's English Dinner Suit

    Paddy, if you were a tad wider, or were I a tad slimmer, I'd have this off you in a trice... Looks terrific...

    14 Button Brown Wool Boot Spats

    That'll be equivalent to 10 UK I think. Spats are generally labelled with shoe size, but mine will be too small for you (8 UK at the most). Sorry...

    G&b an-j-3

    Blimey, leaving the choice to the very last minute?! No doubt in my mind: A-1 and Doniger A-2...
