Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Mel

A friend of mine deals in used, womens' wool clothing. She recently acquired the coat pictured here. It has an insignia on the left sleeve that neither of us is familiar with. Does anyone recognize this? Thanks, Mel

Here is a labeled view:

The tag on the bottom, the lighter, more yellow colored tag with the bolder embossed letters is the Split-S tag. It is also the thinner one on the right in the side-by-side view.

As John gets closer to prodution of my Doniger A-2, I asked him for advise on a name tag. He recommended Mash Co. So I ordered a leather name tag from them which arrived in short order. I thought some of you might be interested in seeing how their leather name tags looked as well as comparing...

It really looks great, Mark! I think you have captured the A-2 essence with a definite Doniger flair! Mel

That is excellent, Mark!

Andrew, That is a lovely jacket. It suits you very well! Thanks for sharing the photos. Mel

Great photos, Marcel! Thanks for sharing them. Mel

Marcel, You have a wonderful collection there, on of off the jackets! I don't think you could have described the great pleasure they give you any better. Thank you for letting us have a peak at Ties' works of art. Mel

Thanks Bevan and David. Boy, I posted then caught a flight. When I came back in there were the two photos. I appreciate the wealth of knowledge shared here! Mel

No, Marcel! This is therapy!!!

That's right, David. The forum makes us do it... Jacket Acquisition Syndrome, and its lesser know boot acquisition syndrome are direct results of participating in this forum. There there are watches and cameras and hats. Whew, maybe we need help.
