Wow- the ageing on that one is great! Coulda fooled me- except- those acres of collar give it away- especially at a size 48 it should be more petite!

It's kinda like the Stuey Clurman 30-415 on his labels or the Aero of Scotland's bizarre zig zag stitching- these guys cling to their flaws like limpets. Eastman's B3 collar is a flaw which they could easily correct but don't- even though they have spectacular Irvins and other sheepskin jackets which show they can make a great repro. The ageing on that MOA jacket shows they can make a hyper-realistic copy.
I think eventually they'll come around like they did with the clown collar Rough Wears, the smooth couch leather jackets and the faulty knits...

ive owns several original b-3s, and imo, the elc b-3 collars are correct. ive seen collars shorter, and some longer. as I longer have an original b-3, I can't do the measuring as I did for original vs elc rws to show that elc is on the money.

I have posted very many images of ww2 B3 jackets with collars the same size as those of elc.
