ELC Slender A-2.
It took years and a few mistakes in other A2's to finally find one that fits the way I like it.
Thanks @Jaime for posting about it and helping me decide in this particular model.
Great jacket, I love it.

Im glad it helped because same happened to me, Ive had a RMCNZ and a BR but I didn't hit the target until the Slender! And there are not almost any reviews or even pictures of that particular model in the internet so its hard to get a real impression. The jacket looks great on you, perfect fit! Congrats Fonzie!
Vanson T3
I'd like to see a photo of it worn. Was looking at these as a bang-around jacket in the hangar. Think it could stand up to mild mechanical work?
wow that rear panel develops great creases, and the sleeves are awesomeVanson T3
Once again, great hat and jacket combination!For the moment at least, a deerskin jacket made by Mid Western Sports Togs.

This was a company that you could send your salted deer hides to and they would tan them and use them to sew a variety of clothing articles. They went out of business sometime in the 70s or 80s. I think this one may date to sometime in the 60s.

Pretty simple, two pockets, two side adjuster straps.

Nice and supple with a pebbly grain. According to their old catalog it's washable.
