I have two Coopers A2 one i painted and patched in the 352 nd FG and the second one i left "sterile" ,two different jackets that i will probably never sale.
And since Cooper is closed these jackets are collectors!!!!
I have a 1988-contract Saddlery and two early Cooper-brand jackets. All share the same hardware, zips, cut, etc. The only difference I found between the Saddlery and the Cooper is the exterior finish of the leather. The Saddlery still retains a glossy finish despite being 20+ years old whereas the Coopers have a more matte finish.
These early jackets are very tough and will last a very long time.
