Wow Thomas! You're a big fan of A-2 deck jackets it seems.
The one you got seems to be in great shape! Congrats! I just sold mine on eBay for £64. It's a 1984 issue and is literally impeccable with no issue, stain, or tear at all. Could have kept it but sold it as I have too many to use. I'm personally not so much into the original jackets and more into the functionality and durability.
I guess this might be THE A-2 Deck Jacket thread. I recently acquired an Alpha from 1972. Do you guys know what the outer shell is made of? Is it 100% cotton or some cotton/nylon blend? It doesn't seem to mention on the label, which I am attaching below. Thanks for any insight you might have!
