WESTED A-2

I know this discussion is probably over but I just had to reply anyway.
I ordered and received a WESTED A-2.
Let me start by saying, as a leather jacket, it's beautiful. The craftsmanship and the quality of the leather is great. BUT IT IS NOT AN "AUTHENTIC A-2" as advertised nor is it any resemblance to the one's in the movie "Memphis Belle" or "Hanover Street" (also as advertised).
To begin with, it has a snap at the neck as opposed to the hook and eye as shown in the film "Memphis Belle".
No collar stand, as shown both in "Memphis Belle" and "Hanover Street".
It also has a snap at the bottom of the wind flap.
A dark brown lining,
no specification label,
the zipper doesn't extend to the bottom of the jacket and if I examined it further, I would probably find additional descrepencies but I was in such a hurry to ship it back I didn't want too look any further!

Get your Indy Jackets at WESTED but, as stated earlier in this thread "AVOID" WESTED LEATHER if your looking for an authentic A-2!!!
To say that I was very disapointed would be putting it mildly. It's packed and ready for it's trip back to merry old England!
