Thank you posting pics of your jackets. As far as language is concerned, one picture is worth a 1000 words. Your English is a million times better than my Polish. I especially like the ones of your patched jackets.

Welcome to the forum. You have the beginnings of a nice collection. Your original A2 would appear to be either a Bronco or a United Sheeplined jacket. Broncos have the shoulder seam behind the epaulet, whilst it is centred under the epaulet on Sheeplined A2s.

from the top of my first jacket A2 Willis & Geiger at the bottom of the Aero Leather jacket size 42. Willys Jacket has thin skin as it is suitable for the warmer days. Quality is not bad, in my opinion too small pockets , but I like it

Nice collection! Welcome to the Lounge.
Years ago I purchased a Willis & Geiger A-2 for my father who had been in the war. The Willis & Geiger had a fuller cut than other jackets which was perfect for my father. I asked him if it was like his WWII A-2 and he replied, "I never had one this nice." He was serious.
Regards, John

um, yes, a lot of particularly young people. There were once very popular b3 wasted copies. And now, beware, once an old man remembers the years after the war( 45-50s) told me, that the possession of the jacket Irvin risked arrest and deportation to Siberia!
