WTB Boys size 10-12 A2 style leather jacket

[warbird]

I would like to buy my 10 year old son his first A2 style leather jacket or something similar. Haven't had much luck on ebay finding one. I was hoping someone here has one they bought for their child who has outgrown it. He is a size 8-10, but I want him to be able to wear it a while, so I am looking for a 10/12.

I assume you know that US Wings makes 'em, though they're likely a bit more than you want to spend:

Yeah I hate to spend a lot of money for a jacket I know he will grow out of soon.

I understand... though you can always pass it along to siblings or friends when he outgrows it. (That's what I did with the MA-1s and N3-B I got my son when he was younger.)

The G-1 looks pretty nice (*) for $103 - hey, to put it in perspective, that's just two tanks of gas nowadays! It's bound to last a lot longer.

(* Yeah, the back construction is all wrong, it's probably not goatskin, and the fur and knits are likely junk. But it's okay for a kid.)

Yeah, you are probably right. I went ahead and ordered that jacket for him. It is goatskin. Hopefully he will get 3 years out of it. I ordered it big. Thanks for the head's up.
