at age 19, my first A-2 was a W&G...1985....was a great jacket...wore it for 6 years straight, was 285.00 I loved it, then bought a bigger W&G, and quality was baaaaaaaad...hide was bad, color was bad, lining was bad....zipper phooey,......
It's a shame about the second jacket !
At least you had the nice one & hopefully
you know what to look for in a jacket in the future.
The problem is that it is difficult to determine if
we like it based on photos online. Even the
colors can be misleading. There are some that
might have the option to return if not satisfied.
But on custom work, I'm not sure.
I know first hand that GoodWear has sent me
samples of the various leathers that are available.
Which does help a lot.
