trim A2?

[Cougar-NRW]

Dear all,

I'm thinking about getting an Eastman A2 jacket.
I already have the Luftwaffen jacket (ELC) in size 42 and the fitting is really great!
Does anyone of you know which of the Eastman A2s have a trimmer cut!?
I like when they're not so roomy as most of the A2s are.
2 years ago I owned a US Authentic A2, this cut was just perfect for me, now I'm looking for a similar A2 from Eastman.
Which ELC A2 can be recommended concerning the fitting.

thanks
cheers

Cougar, I am not the expert on this particular make by Eastman, but I have read on this site (and others) that ELC's Star repro A-2 is a trim-fitting piece of leather. Worth checking out.

The Werber from ELC is even trimmer. I normally take a 42 in all of the ELC A-2s but would take a 44 in the Werber.

I was issued an A-2 in 1992. I wore it for 15 years of duty. I can't wear one now, as it strikes me as a uniform item.

I did have an excellent leather jacket custom made in Bogota, however. Fabrica de Cueros Santa Fe de Bogota if you ever get down there...

I had an answer from Gary, telling me that Monarch, Star are more relaxed while Cable, Werber and Roughwear are trimmer cut.
I have a Monarch an I am pretty happy with that cut!
