: : : I am a big fan of the A2 jacket. To get one of the equivalent quality and authenticity of a Wested, you will pay between $500 and $700. A run-of-the-mill LL Bean jacket costs almost $300. Peter is giving us a real deal! He doesn't have to. And he is a custom craftsman. Try ordering a special part from BMW or Mercedes. You will get it, but not necessarily when it is promised.
: : I am also an A-2 fan. I have a few of the premiere A-2 reproductions from the Eastman Leather Company in England. They are beautiful jackets. The wait was 2 -3 months. If the Wested is like everyone is saying then it will be well worth the wait. I have had mine on order for 3 weeks. I hope it is here before fall. It is getting too late in Chicago to wear it now.

: I think that the Eastman jackets are in a different class to Wested personally, and I have both. Is this KenalO from the Deja.com A-2 forum I am replying to here? If it is, good to see you here...! I think that I remember you mentioning the link and your Aldens if I am correct.

Its me alright. I am not just an A-2 nut, I am a jacket nut.
Good to see you here too. I happen to like the Indy Fedora, shoes which are great and the jacket.
