Our Cooper Original™ Vintage Cape Buffalo Adventurer Jacket is made of leather from one of the toughest & most dangerous big game animals in Africa. The Cape Buffalo is one of the “big five” African game animals (along with lions, leopards, rhinos & elephants) and is not categorized as an endangered species. Can weigh up to 2,000 lbs. Reported to kill more people in Africa than any other animal. Among big game hunters, they are notoriously difficult to bring down. Very unique with an old world feel and look. No two pieces will be the same in grain or color.

With this pedigree, it’s no surprise that our Cooper Original™ Vintage Cape Buffalo Adventurer Jacket is one of the most durable jackets we manufacture. Built like a tank and will withstand whatever adventures you want to take it on. Ideal for bikers, pilots, adventurers or anyone else who needs or appreciates a truly unique leather. A very refined jacket: the leather is wonderfully soft and rich looking. Also makes it equally ideal for use in the urban jungle for those who are less adventure-inclined. Designed to age with wear. Has the style, the look, and is a fantastic value. Great 3 Season Jacket!  Import.

History of Cooper:

Founded in 1910, Cooper manufactured raincoats for the US Army in 1917-1918 as well as field jackets from 1941-1945. On January 5 1942, Cooper was awarded the contract to produce A-2 jackets for the USAAF during WWII. In 1988, they were awarded a contract to produce A-2s for the USAF; the jackets were created using patterns from an original A-2 but were made in a fuller cut to accommodate modern physiques. In 1996, they were awarded a contract from the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP) to re-design the A-2 into what would become the current military-issue version. Fit & functionality upgrades were made to this venerable Air Force flight jacket, including side-entry hand-warmer pockets and an interior pocket (which had previously only been available on civilian A-2 versions, not on military-issue A-2s), underarm gussets, and a more roomy fit.

Their contribution to the civilian market was no less significant. Cooper produced a range of A-2s, G-1s, Indy jackets and more to customers around the world. US Wings partnered with Cooper in 1986 and ending when Cooper ceased production in the late 1990s. US Wings is the official home of the Cooper name and we’re proud to continue the tradition of excellence. This line consists of classic Cooper jackets as well as a number of “new classics” that are sure to appeal to any leather jacket enthusiast. Rest assured that we’ve retained Cooper’s commitment to quality, putting only the finest materials and the highest level of craftsmanship into the jackets that bear the Cooper Original name. This ensures that our jackets will be of the same high quality as the original Cooper Sportswear jackets worn by your father, grandfather or even great-grandfather.
