I think it is safe to assume that patterns varied. I have other images somewhere.
I like the one with the bikes

I totally agree, I once before said i've only ever owned a original A2, a Perry and the right pocket flap was sewn on overlapping the pocket, too far over to the right that's life, it happened, i always like when something pops up showing it's not all what it seems

If this gets out John, sellers will ask more for something out of the unusual haha makers making slight faults? incidentally, i used to be interested in Native American clothing a long time ago, the Native Americans deliberately made a fault in anything they made, even beadwork, believing life wasn't perfect

NOPE Just differents makers and patterns as well as dark fleece B3

There are very many images of WW2 crew wearing B3's with very big collars.

Eastmans push it- there may be a few photos with big collars from WW2 but hardly ever touvhing the shoulder. It's like Buzz Rickson's large sleeve ends or Lost World's too far apart pockets- it's a pattern problem:

WIDE COLLAR or STANDARD?

 

[ZuZu]

The difference is that the WW2 photos show people with the collar pushed out and an open jacket- ther Eastmans are closed and the collar still reaches the shoulder. I'm not saying it never happened but why copy the anomaly?

Open jackets:

 

[John Lever]

The zip is partly open in both cases and in the top image the collar is pulled open.

 

[John Lever]

Is it possible that collar sizes varied or were they all identical?

That collar is not as wide as Eastmans'- look at the edge of the collar- it's not 12+ inches of fur...

They varied- but why copy a gigantic one?

 

[John Lever]

Why not if people like them ? I do !
