Original M422

[jonnyboy]

Hi guys,

There's an interesting jacket on ebay at the moment (link below). Am I right in thinking this is an M422, rather than M422A, as the pocket has the pencil holder without a slot?

Too small for me, but maybe a good fixer-upper for someone?

Variations like this are more between makers ... the Gordon & Ferguson M422A's come without the slot.

The seller tried to sell this crumpled jacket before. I guess the poor condition, small size and the lack of a spec tag deterred bidders.

Thanks deeb. You're right - I just checked the photos of the Gordon & Ferguson M422A I used to own, and the pocket has no slot! Looks like the jacket on ebay could also be a G&F.

Cheers,

Jon

Hi Andrew,

Yes, it's not in great shape is it?! Looks like it's been in someone's basement for many years!

Cheers,

Jon
