Ralph Edwards 7823B

[Stony]

I acquired this Ralph Edwards 7823B recently and it has become my daily wearer. It's a bit large on me, but comfortable, allowing me to wear warm clothing underneath when needed. It's all original with just a few nips in the knits and has probably the softest fur collar of any Navy jacket I've had.

I did notice that the perforated USN is vertical, not horizontal like most are. Is this something unique to a Ralph Edwards G-1? I only ask because I don't see the vertical perforation that much.

Stony, the burnished red mouton is pretty damn nice. What are the measurements? You normally wear a 42, no?

I think the vertical USN windflap punchings are a trait unique to Ralph Edwards. They continued that all the way through to their 7823E variant.

Nice looking jacket Stony. Still hoping to find something similar someday.

The Excelled Sheepskin and Leather Co jackets have USN perforated the same way
