What goes with your A2?

[John in Covina]

I wear Chinos in a tan or light green color mostly. i wear the A2 also with jeans and my canvas jeans which are tan or a brown. Short sleeve safari shirts, or golf shirts. Brown walking shoes or my brown saddle shoes or my white new balance sneakers. Usually a fedora like my Campdraft in brown or a newsboy cap.

The newsboy cap always makes me feel like a truck driver making a delivery.

Just bought my first A2. Taking you guys advice and all, will wear with Khaki and shirt with brown cap toe.

If you have the physique, I think this outfit takes some beating

Physique? You mean if you're not overweight (regardless of his "cool" factor, McQueen's a pretty ordinary looking fellow). But I agree, it's not a bad look. I think the A2 and chinos/khaki's look is a bit tired. Jeans look much better to me. Or and A2 with a suit looks good too.

I think one of the reasons the A2 is such an enduring style is that it's so versatile, it can be dressed up or down and always looks great. Everyone should have at least one!

Damn, having read this thread I've now convinced myself that I need an A2 in my life.

You've already got Steerhide and Horse Aeros right? What about a Goat A2?!

You've read my mind.

Haha...go for it dav...personally, I like the idea of only having 1 A2 jacket though...just one that I can love, cherish, fly in and use for the rest of my days...and hopefully pass down onto my generations when I'm old and ground-bound

Wonderful outfit Paddy...is it an Aero?

I'm at the stage where my A2's starting to develop one or two little marks...I'm TRYING my hardest not to care and to wear it in...still I suppose it'll come with time...

Your A2's worn in beautifully...if you dont mind me asking, how long have you had it?

Thanks

Betcha it's a Good Wear "Acme." Am I right Paddy?

Last fall, it was my A-3, now I have a B-1, and a Stetson Playboy; any of them will do.

Exactly like when I was a kid.

Baseball cap, Pendleton shirt, Levi Strauss jeans, and Tony Lama boots.

A hat and the rain are the two most necessary A-2 accessories!

I'll switch out for a pair of harness boots, but otherwise I agree completely.

Normally I never wear a tie, but I found that a pair of sand chinos, a rawwhite shirt WITH a tie (in this case striped burgundy/sand/pale blue) goes very well with my sealbrown goat A2.

White shirt & chinos? Who are you? Indiana Jones?

I've also got a pair of harness boots. Sometimes I wear my cap toe jump boots. Doc Martins work well too. But when I wear white sneakers, it just feels too much like Jerry Sienfeld.
