Holy Crap what are the odds?
I logged on here to post a "just bought a Cooper A-2 jacket" thread and this was at the top of the list!
I bought mine for 21 dollars at a Value Village (used clothing store here in Canada) Sunday and had no idea what it was except it looked cool a fit the period style I was going for!
I'll post pictures of mine when I get home but it looks the same as yours. In MINT shape I might add... I was going to put my Vintage Motorcycle Society patch on it but I might hold off it's worth something... Whiskey Pete, any idea it's value? EDIT: $500 to $5000 according to Wiki I'M RICH!
Man what a small world!
Plus, as it's not a purpose made motorcycle jacket, would we be crazy wearing it while we ride? There's no additonal armor other than the leather... my modern jackets have spine, elbow and shoulder protection...
