Thanks for that . And it’s good to hear from you . I’d been hoping we could mend things up between us. My apologies for things I said in the past .
Cheers

No problem, i am not vengeful person. I am not expert for repro and original A-2 jackets, but i think i know something about jackets from 1988 till today. My intention was not to insult you, i just want to tell you how much you can expect for Cockpit jacket. Sorry if i insult you.
Cheers.

That is unusual. Never saw one like that on a Cooper , an never on a military issued cooper.
Was this the only contract year that had this label ?

Silvio76 can I ask what it is about the Cooper that would make it the most collectible?

Thanks.

I think that becaise first modern A-2 contract was awarded to Cooper Sportswear 1988 and all subsequent contracts from 1988 to 1998 (1988, 1992 with Branded garments Orchard, 1995 and 1996). At the same time they had contract for G-1 jackets.
