Age check on this A2 Jacket - Aero Leather/The Few

[tomatocookie]

Hi,

I recently got a leather jacket from eBay and was wondering how old it is. The previous seller mentioned it was from The Few but it also says Aero Leather on the tag. Does anyone know how old this jacket could be? The eBay listing is below as well as some pictures I have taken.

this isn't made by the Few, it is certainly Aero Scotland. Probably date from around late 90's early 00's

Under the side pocket, does it have “the Few” tag?

no because it's made by Aero Scotland

That's exactly what I thought. Denny has spoken.

A word of explanation:

There was indeed a company called "Aero Leather Clothing" from the US who won a contract to produce US Army A-2´s back in the day.
They have nothing to do with "Aero Leather" from Scotland.

So it IS possible to find an "Aero Leather Clothing" labeled A-2 from one of the repro-makers (including The Few/RMC and others); however, this "Aero" is indeed from "Aero", also as a repro.

Hope, this makes sense. One of the larger confusors for me when I started down this rabbit-hole...
