Size XL or 48
I asked the seller and the tag is "H.J.B. CORP NY"
What do you think about? It seems beautiful.

If it's original then it's the best ever. Some of the details say repro though, the seam tapes look very wide to me and I can't see the collar snaps.

" Fabrication anglaise reproduisant le modèle de 1942 "

The seller says that's a repro made in england.

a repro is a repro, is a repro. by any other name, a repro.

 

[John Lever]

Who made it though ?
I can't remember ELC making one of these with this label, that leaves ALC and Wested, neither of which make very convincing reproductions. It's a shame the cuffs are rolled up as this makes it difficult to gauge the arm shape.

Found the maker or at least the supplier -
