That's not the SAT. It's 1931. That is the Spalding X-2. No epaulets and no snaps in the collar. Narrow pockets with single layer flaps. Essentially a test jacket during the A-2 development. This photo seems to show the differences from the A-1 and the new jacket possibly.

Me too!
I got it. I kinda had to, it being an original photo of 2 of the jackets I make side by side. Plus I have never seen this photo before!
There are not too many photos of that proto A-2.

Hi J,
Although I followed that auction I did not bid. It was enough to get a copy of that pic. However, did the back side of that pic name those fellows?
Cheers, Dave

I will have to get back to you on that. I have been so busy I have not pulled the photo out of it's little protective sleeve yet. Only the front is visible. It is really cool though to have this original photograph from the early 1930's! Amazing that is has been kicking around for so many years.

Hi,
Yes, it would be interesting to see exactly who those fellows were in your vintage pic!
