The VintageTrends jacket is stated to be made of nylon, and the Korean-era jacket is obviously cotton.

Mar 27, 2022. #3. Yep, one of the design flaws of the A-2 is that the larger sizes didn't really differ from the smaller sizes in their length/sleeve length measurements. The manufacturers seemed to think 46 and above were A-2s for tubby people, instead of linebackers.

Dec 23, 2009 · Place the new cuff inside the leather sleeve opening with the bottom end pointing toward the armpit. Strech the cuff to match the opening and secure the cuff to the leather (using clips, staples, etc.) Sew the cuff to the leather 1/8 inch from the edge, I find it works best to sew with the leather side up.

I wonder about the opportunity to order an A2 at the same time to save shiping, knowing that the choice of models is much more limited than at 5* I've seen a lot of VLJ members talking about their USN Avi jackets while the A2s often come from 5*. Personally, having own Both AVIs G-1 and M-422a, I'd go with the M-422a. Definitely better all round fit. Such a pleasure to wear.
