A2 jacket on ebay

[vintage patina]

Hi all,

I'm sure you guys have seen this jacket on ebay -

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 500wt_1287

Is it an original or a repro? Looks like it has a nice chest patch...but how do you know if it's a modern remake?

I think that may be from an 80's Avirex catalog, the CATF chest patch.

Gotcha, I was kinda thinking it wasn't an original. What's the going price for this type of repro jacket?

Not sure, Repro jackets aren't really my thing. The patch rings a bell because years ago I could only find reference in their catalog along with the Eastman catalog to make my own repro patches. These days, reference to originals are abundant on the internet so anything I did back then, I consider 3rd generation repro and that much more inaccurate.

Yes, its a vintage repro. Most likely made by Avirex.
