A2 with buttons?

Featured Replies

Hi I found this A-2 style jacket that has buttons instead of a zipper. My guess is it is civilian but am unsure.The jacket has RAU snaps. Would this be a private purchase/civilian item?

Undoubtedly private purchase. Is there a yok in the back, or is it plain?

It really looks to me like the zipper broke at some point and someone put buttons on instead. Same with the cuffs. Other wise it is a regular A-2, not sure what contract. Are you selling?

I've seen A2s made new from local materials with certain parts from old jackets reused.
