THIS IS A JACKET THAT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN WORN IN COMBAT AND NOT SOME SUPLUS LEFT OVER. THE LEATHER IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND HAS A NICE WORN PATINA TO IT. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE LEATHER AND IT IS STILL SUPPLE AND WEARABLE. THE LINER WAS SOME WEAR AT THE SEAMS. MOST OF IT IS IN GREAT SHAPE BUT IT HAS DAMAGE TO THE NECK AROUND THE COLLAR AND THE RIGHT ARMPIT (SEE PICTURES). THIS DOES NOT SHOW ON THE OUTSIDE AND IS NOT NOTICEABLE WHEN WORN OR DISPLAYED. THE TAG IS STILL PRESENT AND SAYS " TYPE A-2 DWG.NO.30-1415 A.C.ORDER NO.42-6175-P PERRY SPORTWEAR INC. NEWBURGH,N.Y. PROPERTY AIR FORCE, U.S. ARMY. " THE JACKET HAS THE ORIGINAL CONMAR ZIPPER IN WORKING ORDER AND ALL TH SNAPS AND HOOKS ARE PRESENT AND WORKING WELL. MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS JACKET IS THE USAAF FIGHTER PILOT WING PATCH SEWN ONTO THE LEFT BREAST. THE LEATHER PATCH IS AUTHENTIC AND APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL TO THE JACKET. THERE ARE A COUPLE MINOR SPOTS OF WHAT LOOKS LIKE WHITE PAINT ON THE BACK OF THE RIGHT ARM AND AT THE BASE NEAR THE ZIPPER. THESE ARE SMALL AND SHOULD COME OFF WITH THE PROPER CARE. THIS IS AN AMAZING PIECE AND FAR BETTER THAN I MADE IT SOUND. IF YOU ARE LOOKNG FOR AN OUTSTANDING A-2 JACKET YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND A BETTER ONE. AS ALWAYS MY ITEMS ARE 100% AUTHENTIC AND GUARANTEED AS SUCH. I WILL SHIP OVERSEAS BUT INSURANCE IS MANDATORY. I AM VERY FAIR WITH SHIPPING AND WILL RETURN ANY OVERAGE THAT MAY OCCURE. THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE NECK OF THE JACKET IS 16 INCHES, THE SHOULDER FROM SEAM TO SEAM IS 19 INCHES, THE SLEAVE FROM THE TOP SEAM TO THE END OF THE CUFF IS 25 1/5 INCHES, THE COLLAR TO THE WAIST IS 25 INCHES AND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE BOTTOM OF THE JACKET IS 41 INCHES FROM ZIPPER TO ZIPPER.
