Came across this at an estate sale, near mint condition, sparingly worn.

This jacket was designed and approved by the U.S. Air Force and made in the United States under a contract with Cooper Sportswear Manufacturing Company. Features include goatskin leather shell, dual knit cuffs and waist band and a cotton-blend interior lining. In addition, the jacket has a U.S. Air Force-regulation snap down leather lined collar, shoulder epaulets, two snap down pockets, a full-length brass zippered opening with integrated wind flap, a metal hook under the collar to fasten the top of the opening, and brass grommets under each armpit for ventilation.
Condition: Excellent. Leather has been properly maintained and jacket was sparingly worn with no scuffs. Jacket has been properly stored and cared for with no foul odors. Both the outer shell and lining are in great condition with no stains or tears.
