I’ve been out of town lately, but as promised, here are some pics of two examples I own of the 18777-P. They are size 42 and 44.
The first pic shows both examples. The contract tag on the size 44 (top) was removed at some point and the size 42 (bottom) had their knits replaced properly in the past. The leather color on both is still the original russet shade from production.
No patches were ever sewn on these examples.
On the next picture we can observe both collars. The 44 looks longer and more pointed than the 42 but it is only because of the position of the camera. In fact they are pretty similar in shape.
Here we can appreciate how similar the strong angles at the tips are. Note also the reddish thread used on both collars. The rest of the jacket uses olive drab thread for its construction.
As expected, both examples use the same brown cotton lining. The original details of the stitchings are still visible. The neck label on the 42 is in mint condition. On the other hand, the 44 only has the ghost stitching of the label which is no longer present.
The next picture shows some details on the wind flaps. This contract utilized the double-barrel eyelet for attaching the collar hook.
Inspection stamps on both jackets are still visible and quite vivid. Both were inspected by the same inspector, AN Z35.
Size 42 (AN Z35)
Size 44 (AN Z35)
On this picture we can observe one of the main characteristics of this 18777-P contract, which is the shoulder seam, not visible behind the epaulettes, as it is centered under it. As a side note, the stitching on the epaulettes is clearly not drawing a perfect X on the boxes, but it is visible on the left epaulette (44) that they corrected the stitching on the top box during the production, as there is some ghost stitching left.
Probably the best way to recognize the 18777-P is by its pocket design. Here we can observe the right pocket of both jackets. The dimensions and design are virtually the same on both. Although the pocket on the left jacket (44) might look a bit smaller on this picture, that is only because the jacket on the right (42) is on top, making it closer to the camera.
The picture of the pocket flaps open reveals the use of the small ring-stud from United Carr. Also we can observe the pocket labels sewn under the pocket flaps.
