deeb7 said:U.S. Olive Drab B-2 Parka in size Large. This was made by Aero Leather Co. of Beacon, NY with a 1944 Contract Date and the Spec. number is 3172.
The label pictured is from the matching B-2 trousers, the parka is a D-2, spec. 3171 (same contract).
Regarding it being rare ... the seller is probably correct.

Presumably the jacket has the incorrect label, possibly it was born like that. They are both the same contract number, and the label doesn't say TROUSERS.
I imagine that the seamstress was in a hurry .... you know, there was a war on.
