I think Real McCoy's (or maybe Buzz) have reproduced this jacket at some point...better off with a nice new repro than this rather worn civi jacket which in itself has very little value.

Gents, I'll gladly take your word for it, but how can you tell? I noticed the words "original type" on the label, that maybe are a give-away?

Yes, original type .... quilted lining, made up spec, stock, and order numbers, maker that didn't have B-15 contracts, etc.

I have to correct myself, and point out that Fitzwell did have original B-15, and B-15A contracts.

My own favourite makers name, in this case with M-65 contracts, is SO-SEW STYLES, INC.

SO-SEW STYLES, INC.

good one too.

do they make these up just for government contracts? :lol:

You have to wonder ... the So-Sew name doesn't appear anywhere else.
