Acceptable knit length on A-2 jacket

[daddy-o]

Howdy folks, just wondered about the proper acceptable length on an A-2 jacket. My otherwise wonderful Aero CBI field modified A-2 is breaking in nicely but seem to have very short knits and I am sure that my old Aero A-2 had much longer knits. The actual measurement is only some 6.4 cm and I am sure they are much shorter than A-2 knits should be. Any hints and info on the proper length ? Do Aero use shorter knits on some of their A-2 s ? I am attaching a picture as well :

I would have thought that measurement is okay. look okay too but maybe others with Aero A2's could check.

Like the field modified.

just to clarify the width of the knits : it is 6.4 cm or 2.5 inches...

You can compare a whole bunch of repro A-2 jackets here to see what the cuff length is:

(Essentially, they run from 2 inches to 3.5 inches. 2.5 to 3 inches seem the most typical.)

it's all about length....

Great looking jacket and the knits looks fine to me......just my opinion though.

Thanks, great link, Aero does run shorter than the rest. Anyway I like the longer waist knits, seems to fit an A-2 jacket better than the shorter ones.
Pitty there ain´t a Buzz Rickson A-2 there, they seem to have 4 inch knits just like the B-10 and B-15 jackets.
