Reproduced manufacturer labels question?

[Dany McDonald]

This one has a fake order# and missing the manufacturer name.

At first I thought it was an original misplaced on the auction site. Can't judge the overall details from the crappy images, but that knits/outer shell combo color and alpaca looks really good, a bit like the elusive ELC RW in my book. And my size....

Which specific original maker contract you’re after if I may ask? Size 40” is quite easy to come by.

 

[Dany McDonald]

No specific maker at the moment, more looking for the older RW, Buzz and Few versions with NOS zips, knits/shell color details like the last one etc...

I must say that Buzz new RW B-10 (BR15325) looks amazing but way too $$$ for now.

And with Buzz it's more around a size 42.

Thank you for asking, appreciated!

OK, thanks.
The older BR original contracts labels in 42” are also not that difficult to find.. but yes they are very sought after and surely not to be found in the ( internet ) bargain floor,.. especially considering the shipping costs, duties, taxes etc…
Hence a ticket to Japan

I'd buy repro labels for sure.
Heck, my recent Headwind Bronco A2 purchase had many reasons but the correct label was one of the big reasons!

On the other hand, JC from GW is crafting a perfect B-10 with all correct and if living in the US, not much to worry about shipping costs and import duties.

The devil is in the details .I am certainly not a connoisseur at the level of all of you here,but at my own level I want a reproduction that is fair and the label is one of the things we can't skimp on. I have a little more knowledge in WW2 shoes and by buying repros and originals I have little by little sorted it out and there are not many choices left when it comes to exact repso. Jackets are WORSE!!!! Finally, to find your way around, state of shapes and cuts which differ a little. This is why I can't help but choose either ELC or GoodWear. The Label is a bit of the History of the jacket, its soul, an error and everything is ruined.

The word "goodwear" has emerged....

Shoes !! Obsession !

By now , in the shape of the soles of a BuzzRickson service shoes type 2 ... ahahaha! In comparison of originals ... The Muson Last is not correct ( like the 99% repros of other type of boots repros). About the jackets my only labels from ELC are 23373 , the house one in Pearl Harbour and Air Master , so , not risky! And a 5 Star Dubow 27798 totally correct , even the colors of the letters and so . I hope someday I'll get a GoodWear !!! Someday before the rainbow

Certainly there are repros using a full label, I am asking if like zips, fur collars, name tags etc, some of you would like to complement a jacket or garment with a better label, or maybe collect them from an era, manufacturer name, type of jacket...
