    Please advise newbie about Cooper A2 fit/size

    First of all, I'm really happy to have found this forum, totally by accident, as I've had a "thing" about fedoras and leather jackets for years and I never realized there were others around with similar sartorial interests. Here's my situation: I used to have a nice beat-up old Avirex...
