I think they were made for longer than two years ... they were the budget, house brand, this one appears to be steerhide.

The Indian made ones were the same deal, in seal, or russet goatskin.

Yes, using a premium brand name to market a budget line ... changing it enough so that the connection is recognisable, whilst still keeping it at arms length.

The Aero Flight Manf label was used on any budget or limited edition A-2 for years (all goat or steer I believe) - the jacket in my avatar was the limited edition 2004 chocolate steerhide with this label. It was said to be made in Scotland using all the Anniversary model components w/ a different hide.

I have one of these in what they called "jerky" horsehide, slightly mismatched. My understanding is the Aero Flight label was used for a number of reduced-price jackets, including jackets made by novice sewers, as well as the indian goat and others.
