While Avirex A2 Jackets are a good low end jacket that will meet all of your needs for colder weather, its not what I would call an accurate historical example of a vintage WWII A2 jacket in terms of reproduction accuracy. Definitely not in the same class as an Aero. Schott is also not a quality example of a WWII A2 Jacket …Nice to see these originals. You're right, nothing beats the original.

Placement is quite weird but then I guess it was the 70s/80s shrug. Lorenzol said: That G-1 looks like an A-series G-1 and the rectangular Talon zip looks original - a blackened No. 10 Talon zipper in fact, as per the jackets of that series.
