Mystery "A2" jacket

yes

I assume that "yes" is in response to my question - "Is the Aerial Star VINTAGE A-2 with SLASH POCKETS an authentic example of what was available to the public in the early 50s?"

If so, thanks Dinerman.

That's correct. Here's a good reference thread for originals.

Thanks again Dinerman. I am in the process of ordering one from Chris at Aerial Star. I love it!

STRATOLINER with Leather Collar by NORSHOR LEATHER © ?

Has anyone had experience with a STRATOLINER with Leather Collar by NORSHOR LEATHER © ?

(as Aerial Star can no loner do custom sizings.)

Is it also an authentic example of what was available to the public in the early 50s? (I notice it does not have epaulets compared to the original Mystery "A2" jacket posted in this thread, and the Aerial Star version.)
