A-2 Take Two. 45 Contract (pic heavy)

[Brettafett]

Beautiful jacket, fit beautifully and I totally agree on your fit preferences... I too like the slim fit with the larger pockets...
Lucky find and a good buy. Were there more such seconds or trade-ins around?

That is one superb A2. I hope you remembered to take your shoes of for your 'tom cruise moment'.

Cheers, sir. I don't think I'll ever be able to get it aged the way you did yours, but 30 years' worth of patina is a good start...

Craig, this fits you just like mine did 30+ years ago, Show us how it's aged in another 30. I'll be 84 and hopefully still wearing my jackets so we can compare

I'm not sure, Brettafett. Ken said that the jacket had come in a few days ago, but Holly just hadn't had a chance to put it on line, so there may be other items on the starting blocks - but the place is an Aladdin's cave of jackets old and new.

Alistar: the girlfriend wouldn't have it any other way!

Damn straight John! Hopefully, they'll all be just about broken in by then too...

Which I guess proves that a certain Mr Calder knows a great deal about making EXCELLENT A2 jackets!!

Exactly what occurred to me, MM. Not a loose stitch in sight. Took out for a walk today, and felt quite the thing.

Alistar, send your guests to Melrose Abbey, just up the road, that should give you a few hours to yourself. You need a few hours btw...
