I have a leather collar on on a European jacket that is three years old. At that time it was fashionable to add a leather collar...
Anyway, I think that people believe me to be the UPS man has to do with the fact that my khaki A-2 looks a lot like a uniform. It's got a pretty plain look. The dark leather collar, epaulettes, and a leather tag on the chest make it even more like a uniform.
FG
PS: I wonder why the brown color was dropped.
PPS: Think how fast a khaki jacket will look filthy...

: I prefer brown or black (although isn't UPS also brown, not khaki?!!)
: Also I agree on the cotton collar.

: : Also, I have noticed that the (washable) leather collar on my cotton A-2 has become a bit stiff and unsightly after some time...
: : I wish the collar was cotton, too. I guess we have to take what we can get, eh?
