CSB, but just realized how badass my jacket is.

Grandfather gave me a nice leather jacket a few years ago. Not really my thing, so it's been hanging in the closet. Took it out today when I went to town and took a look at it.
Apparently I have a WWII era Cooper A2 bomber/pilot jacket. I did a bit of research about replicas/fakes and whatnot, and it is the real deal. This fricker is 73 years old and looks like it could be bought new from a department store.
I probably won't wear it very much but it'll be something nice to pass down to my future children.

I'm drunk, stoned, and a wee bit geeked and thought it was worth posting at 3 A.M. Go figure.

That's actually really cool.
It's one of those threads that would be improved with a photo though.

Pic, and don't keep it and give it to the kids. Find a WWW 2 museum that want it and will display it.
