Hi -
I have some questions about Cooper A-2 jackets, and it was suggested to me you would be the right person to ask. About 20 or more years ago, I was given a new Cooper 'orange tag' A-2 jacket. Were the 'orange tag' Coopers the commercially sold version of the Air Force-issue jacket? It's goatskin, with a brown cotton lining. Under the orange tag is a smaller white one with the size, company name, and two numbers; one preceeded by the letters 'GAC', the other by 'CSN'. What's the history and quality of these jackets? The collar has longer and more pointed tips than most A-2's I've seen. Was this a peculiarity of that contract?
Thanks in advance!
Drew
