In reading, I see that the Avirex A-2's are not really of too much interest in the forum. I picked one up off of craigslist a week or two ago for $25 and was hoping to get some info. For 25 bucks, I'm pretty satisfied.
It is the Stars and Stripes Forever model without any date or place of manufacture. I dont know if they made multiple versions of the linings in these jackets but this one is the Italy version. In some photos I have seen of the linings in these jackets some had the copyright of 1989 shown printed on the lining. Mine has no date.
It is nice and heavy and fits alright for what it is.
Anyone know when these were made and where? Also, the hide is heavy and tough, not lamb soft at all. Two piece back with a vertical seam top to bottom, and three piece arms. Anyone know what type of leather this would be?
Thanks in advance.
