There's a lot of joking around at the forum about wearing an A-2 with the collar snapped, but in all seriousness I've heard that snapping those little "nipple" snaps on a vintage piece can be disastrous to the hardware.A brief time with my original Rough Wear (probably RW), no tag but ID'd by JC as an RW. its an old A-2 in any case:

Others with vintage jackets can chime in, but I understand the hardware can get pretty brittle.
