Yeah, their jackets are cut trim but strangely long. The one I had was a 44R, and its sleeves and body length were a full inch or two longer than my 46R G&B jackets! US As are a good choice if you're tall-ish and thin-ish... which I'm definitely not!
But I'll say again that they're excellent for the price if you want an A-2 that reads as a generic WWII-style jacket and you're not fussy about the details. For that forties look, they're a better choice than nearly anything from US Wings or Cockpit (all of whose "classic look" jackets are just tricked-out modern-spec jackets)... if their odd sizing works for you.

:arated:Yup. Nice jackets, and the length works for me. Maybe the next size down would be a better fit for some folks? Shaul will also do exchanges or custom alterations I believe.
Someone said in this forum: The first jacket is too big, the second is to small :eusa_doh:
I've been seen in many forums people talking about the accuracy of the A2 (considering WWII), but i think the big "problem" for me (although the accuracy which is very important too), is the right fit, because it changes from brand to brand.
