Fit question: New Aero A-2: 42-18775-P

[Lungomare]

Great fitting A-2 Johannes! If your photo were black & white and the plane in the background was a P-40, it could pass as 1942!

Thanks! An Aero stays an Aero ...

Is this quartermaster a-2 made of chrome-tanned leather by any chance?

I have the same question too. The one I have looks chrome.

For the kind of money one spends on these jackets, you should be able to be 100% happy... or be able to return/ exchange it.
IMO it looks good, but needs more length, going up a size will also widen it and droop the shoulders... ;-(
I guess its you-get-what-you-get-off-the-bargain-rack, you could be super lucky or incur sleepless nights worrying about the various issues.
Perhaps, if you can fork out a bit more cash, a lengthened 15142 (I believe the QM 18775 are not 'tweak-able'...? may be wrong)... or as Jan says, a lengthened Bronco!
Unlike those boys in 1942, we have the luxury of tweaking a jacket to find the perfect fit. (and paying for the privilege ;-)
Just opinions.

A2s with a shirt showing just doesn't go, sorry, my opinion. Looks a bit short as others have pointed out.
