What's the production date of my Avirex Jacket A-2 30-1415?

[saad07]

Hello everyone I'm new to the community.
I got my first avirex a-2 jacket. The label is showing:
TYPE A-2
DRAWING NO: 30-1415
CONTRACT NO: 1932-01
And the lining has a map.
Can anyone please give me an idea on when this jacket was made.

Thanks y'all ✌

Short explanation- the contract numbers on Avirex jackets are all made up as avirex jackets were mostly made in the 80s/90s as fashion pieces, and they were not issued to the military

... as avirex jackets were mostly made in the 80s/90s as fashion pieces...

To be fair, early on Avirex jackets weren't exactly "fashion pieces" as they've become now. Clyman and his crew were trying to start a market for vintage-like repros and and trying to sell to history buffs who, basically, hadn't done a lot of research.

But "authentic" reproductions weren't always their focus.

Earlier Avirex could be well made if not entirely accurate repros. At some point they were made in Korea. I'm pretty sure the ones with the lining maps are Korean made.

Interesting. Didn't know that.

Probably around the late 80s or early 90s .
As most have said … this was a department store jacket made to look like a military jacket.
