It certainly does look nice, but I'd rather have an Eastman M-422A with
the salmon colored lining and lighter colored goatskin.
Which I do have on order ;)
Aurang,
Thank you!
Did you get your M422a? ( and how about MASH's jackets?)
Actually how many jackets you have!
I didn't buy M422a for two reasons!
Left pocket is bigger than right side and the cutting is longer than G-
1. Of course I have no idea about what's M422a back to then!
Also it's funny if you want me to pick-I will go for G-1 or M422a
instaed of A-2! I think the G-1 is more suitable than A-2 when you ride
on motorcycle!

42R, I also have a 42R flight suits jacket Mahogany A-2 jacket on
order. The veg tanned horsehide came out a little darker and shinier
than they had hoped, so I'm getting it for on the clearance sale $288.
Dave at flight suits assured me that it looks significantly less dark
and less shinny with a few months wear. I don't know, I might return
it right away if it doesn't agree with me, having seen the Eastman A-2
I'm not sure how the Flight Suits will stack up.
Or I could just toss it in the tumble dryer like he did to test wear
and tear ;-) If this A-2 doesn't work out, I'll just have to wait a
little bit for Eastman to do some other things. I'm near convinced
that the M-422a will work out since the 42R A-2 was tugging slightly at
the back with extreme movements, the BI-swing in all probability will
alleviate that.
Charles told me I was the only "hard to fit" case he's had in months,
interestingly enough.
With regards to my current flight jacket state, I tossed out all my
other cheap-o flight jackets, the two Alpha's and a few others. I’m
sure everyone can relate to closet clearing. :) Right now I only have
one flight jacket, a Flight Suits professional uniform jacket with B-15
features.
In the short run, preferably by the end of this year, I hope to have an
M-422A, FS A-2 and a B-15B. Though I have my doubts about the FS A-2,
I might have to wait quite a bit for another solution. In the long run
I also hope to get an L-2, a Type B-15 and A-2 to replace the FS Jacket
(s.) I am also toying with the idea of getting a B-10, though this
will be years down the road.
By spring my closet will most likely look like this
Eastman M-422a
FS Professional
Mash Co. Type B-15B
Mash Co. Type L-2
