Interesting m445 type UK made

[John Lever]

Looks period but odd somehow. B2 neck closure m445 arm patches Anj4 pockets.
UK made...WW2 ?

Any info on the zip that might help ID it?

Looks like an Irvin type

Also resembles a single strap type collar that’s associated with an Irvin.

I would contend a post war made homage to US styled jackets.

Notice the very wide seam tapes as seen on so called Gunners jackets

No quite the same as the Irvin has the two rings rather than a buckle

And the Irvin collar strap is on the other side-unless the image is reversed. The zip and its leather facings look very Irvin-like. I did wonder if it was a heavily-modified Irvin, but I can’t see any underarm gussets. Sleeves look very wide.

 

[John Lever]

The sleeves have been shortened I think

Do they sell their stuff or just put it up on FB?

Had a look. Assumed the phone might have translated it. They had a medium M-1951 pile liner on FB. Possibly cheaper on eBay.

Worth following on Instagram for rare original pieces

Did anyone figure out what this is and where it was made?
