I think the pleats in this style is necessary for the bi-swing. But I don't like it either, thats is why I prefer the Westfall than this one. I think these two looks almost identical from the front.
I think the waiting time is depends on the hides they stocked. If the hides you asked is available, it takes 6-8 weeks, but it is not available, oh......good luck man...
For A2 jacket, I would go for Aero Leather or Bill Kelso House A2 in your price range. I personally dont like most cheap US Made repro because their pattern is boxy.
Leather quality, there is no way to answer it because this is really depends on what kind of leather you want.
I haven't seen a single people wearing A2 in UK since early 2013, which makes me wonder what happened to those people showed their A2 on TFL and VLJ. I saw people with B10 one times, M65 few times and MA-1. But never seen people in A2...
Funny thing is, I asked my friends who owns many schott in different size, he told me that the length of size 36 and 44 is about same, both around 24".
But 618HH is bit longer, which is 24.5" in size 36
One more question Andrew, I can see JC make a Aero 16160 in seal with brow knits, is this the feature of this particular contract? I know this is a rare contracts.
There are many repro A2 comes with dark seal leather and reddish knits. But, I am wondering is this a true design in history? I cant remember any original A2 comes with such design. If this is a true design in history, is this a particular contract or it is a general design?
Sounds an interesting test. Remember to find people with no knowledge of A2 at all. I think the experienced people (like Andrew) may distinguish this easily.
