I was joking, of course, but Seb gets it right: the style is a very simple, uncluttered one, so it doesn't take much to make it look 'off'.
I always thought the reason they didn't have side-entry pockets was because the top brass didn't want them wandering around with their hands stuck in them.
Both statements are true and illustrate the prime reasons for the popularity of the snug, trim fitting A-2 as perhaps the best knit leather jacket ever designed. The first statement applies to the Aero Cafer Racer / Sheene and Board Racer as perhaps the best of the non-knit jackets. However, as Sloan said "it doesn't take much to make it look 'off'."
