An A-2 horsehide leather jacket as a present.
Thanks for letting me know that the design of the De Brabander A-2 jacket is based on a Monarch contract! The Monarch A-2 jacket is very nice, but its collar has too long tips. That's way too old-fashioned for our liking. Here is an example of a Monarch A-2 jacket I found on GW's website...- valentina85

I know, but I'd like to avoid any alteration on the jacket. I contacted some professional tailors, but they refuse to sew leather garments. It's very hard to find a professional leather maker in my area. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you too!- valentina85

Hello Fanch, I reside in the sunny southern part of Italy, Apulia, the region of home-made pasta called "orecchiette" :-) My husband normally wears a 42/44 Regular on this style and definitely doesn't like jackets that are baggy in the body and sleeves. Above all, he doesn't like drooping...- valentina85

Hello kirkaero, If I've understood you correctly, Eastman A-2 jackets have, in general, a relatively slimmer cut than the Aero equivalents. Very well, I'll take that into consideration.- valentina85

Hello Cocker, Yes, I'll contact Aero and Eastman directly. I just wanted to get a few first-hand opinions first... Are you Belgian? Do you know the Belgian company called DE BRABANDER MFG. CO.? Do you have some info about the quality and accuracy of their A-2 jackets that they sell here...- valentina85
