I guess I'm also falling for the classic A2 jacket.
There's a lot to wade thru out there with respect to which one is more authentic, materials, patterns, etc.
But I'm not so much concerned with which one is most authentic as I am with which one will fit me, look good, and provide the best utility for me.
And to that end, I gotta have hand warmer pockets on any jacket I purchase.
Seems like most of you purchase the A2 to be as close as possible to the originals, which means, no handwarmer pockets.
I can't for the life of me imagine not wanting these in a jacket.
Sure, if you're just gonna hang it up in the closet, or drape it over a display model, that's fine.
But to actually wear it outside in the cold, I'd think hand warmer pockets would be invaluable.
Now, I'm not trying to put anybody down, or start a flame war.
And I truly understand the collecting aspect of the whole Aviator Jacket culture.
Just thought I'd throw this out for discussion.
