A cooper jacket like that will usually be in the ballpark of 100 dollars at auction. The patches may or may not be detrimental to the price, alot of people just aren't into them.

Cooper A2s are very common on Ebay. The patches will appeal to some people, but I doubt if you will get much more than $150 for it. Good luck.

yes, i've bought a few coopers, and priced many, on ebay
in great condition they usually go for $125 to $150, sometimes up to $175
what might make yours worth a bit more are the patches...normally they might detract from the value, but it's clear yours are authentic repro 'flying tiger', and done very well...only problem is that the cut of the cooper is NOT, and i mean NOT ww2...so no way can it be sold as a true flying tiger repro...but some people might like that patch arrangement on it
if it was done by cooper that might make it a special limited edition, which might make it desirable
good luck

Lefty,
Good looking jacket, even though it's not technically authentic. The leather looks nice and I have a good imagination. Your jacket could join my collection which is mostly made up of Canadian leather varsity jackets favored by jocks up in the frigid north. (See avatar!)

If it was a size 52L I'd make you an offer 
the tiger patch is really good, and I like the bloodchit being... subdued... even though I'm not really into patches (never say never) that jacket gives me "tales of the golden monkey" 70's retrovibes...

BTW where did you get the patches, or was the jacket like that when you got it? I guess I'm going on the dark side... but the tiger patch is... übercool

Sorry, Big Hairy Finn - I got this jacket and its even nicer than it looked on the post. The size didn't matter to me! Thanks for the great little A2, Lefty! i'm enjoying it already.
