Want to buy/trade for a Cooper G-1

[pjman]

I'm looking to buy - or trade for - a 'blue tag' Cooper G-1 flight jacket, size 40 reg. I have this jacket in size 42, but the sleeves are just too long. So, I'm looking to buy a size 40, or trade my jacket for the smaller size.

Thanks!

Hey PJ, have you considered sending the jacket off to have the sleeves shortened? I did that with my Cooper and it turned out great.

Hadn't really considered that option, but I'm open to it, depending on cost. If I went that route, I'd like to have the cuffs replaced, too, since they are a little loose for my tastes. Can you tell who does that kind of work and how to contact them? I'm on the US Gulf Coast.

This guy got good reviews in the A-2 alteration thread in the Outerwear forum

And I have had work done by Steve Sellers of The Greatest Generation...including both shortening and also narrowing the sleeves of my Cooper and he does very good work.
