Contract 383-28657: If I read the chart correctly, this would be from 1957. It is a 46 but generally fits me well except for the sleeves which are an inch too long. No matter how much I wish it, I cannot get it to work so will be returning. Before doing so, I took some pictures.

Beautiful jacket. Too bad it does not fit, Sidelsip. Hope it works for you, Burt!
Thanks for keeping me in mind :)
I checked with Sideslip but with shipping and import fees it makes the total cost a little too high for me. It’s a great jacket, but sadly I’m in the wrong country :(

In the end, a fellow forumite on this side of the Atlantic contacted me just after you Burt and it was picked up by UPS 2 hours ago. I am happy that it is finding a home here! I would definitely have kept it but for the fit being just slightly off on me. Equally good for the shop I got it from as no re-stock and they are Good people.

Got two exactly like that, both ‘57’s I think but diff contracts! Love ‘em - both 44”s yet one feels just that bit more blousy and more comfortable hence gets the most wear!!

That worked out, just the way it was meant to.
Congrats to both the seller and the buyer . And a personal thank you for giving me the opportunity to purchase that cool piece of history:)

Happy to hear that the forum does seem to work as a place to sell and exchange jacket between members. It only strengthens the community that way.
