: Yes, there are several comments on it, in the Jacket FAQ at Indy Gear

I wouldn't be able to give much of a strong recommendation for the Cooper. I have the cowhide version, and it just has too many authenticity problems, not to mention the cheap (albiet durable) nylon lining.
Funny thing is, I found a new jacket at Disneyland this last weekend. It was very nice. The only authenticity problem I could really find in the short time I had to look (my wife puts a time limit on my visits to the Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost) was the side strap configuration.
Gee, this is the first time I cannot with a clear conscience plug a Wested. Hmmmm...
