Thinking about buying this one. Can anyone tell me the MFG and or Date of this jacket. Is it real or an old Repro?
Thanks!

These are the only photos I can get, but I should be able to cut them apart and blow them up in photoshop.

Looks like the pocket tage reads:

Style ..(?)-2.................. (surely A-2; tag is folded over hiding the A)

Size.........40................

(unreadable).................. (could be cutter, lot no., etc.)

I am almost positive it is a Star. Go to Acme Depot and look at the Star details and photos. Look at the pocket tag photo. The tag say "Style, then Size, then Order". If you look at Jaydee's jacket photo of the tag, it also says the same "Style-Size-Order".......the printing looks exactly the same.

Look at the collar shape, and the pocket curve, and the color of the jacket. Also, both jackets have ball-stud or "nipple snaps and the knit color is very similar. The curve at the bottom of the pockets is slight different, but all in all I think it is a Star, for sure.

Ted is spot on. Its definitely a Star. A nice find as these jackets are rarer than many. I particularly like the shape of the pocket flaps on Star A2s.
