Hey Guys! New to DTT. Thought I would post the jacket that was given to me recently. Not necessarily a biker jacket, but still pretty rad! Anybody know anything about these jackets? All I know is that this thing is heavy!

Avirex Bomber Jacket from 80s or 90s I think??

After Top Gun was released, A-2 reproduction leather jackets were sold by the shiploads in the late 80s. Many jacket manufacturers capitalized on the popular trend including Avirex. Their jackets are pretty good quality although not really collectable.
 
Cool jacket-love the nose art on the back and pinup girls on the label, it looks very much like a WW2 flight jacket. I wear something similar (Cooper, with snap cuffs and no naked chicks, but otherwise the same) over a sweater for cold weather riding. Even if it's not collectible, it looks like a solid jacket with a nice vintage style.
