That's the question that I was going to ask. I've been researching it for a couple days now and still have not found the answer although I did see that Cooper A-2 pilot jackets were given cast and crew at the end of the series. The leather jackets wore by the two brothers aren't actual contract style A-2 jackets but I guess they could have been made by Cooper, I'm still trying to find out.

I've been researching this for a couple days and still haven't found the answer. I did learn that Cooper A-2 pilot jackets were given to cast and crew at the end of the series but the jackets worn by the two brothers, at least early on, are not contract style A-2 jackets but they are similar, they could have been made by Cooper as well.
