That is quite the score. Sizes like that don't come up often.

I am on the opposite end. Looking for a size small. The medium l just got felt long on the sleeves and puffy on the torso. The medium I wear in the CVC fit much better.

Odd tag that is.
No DLA or DSA or SPC or SPE or similar number.
The 8415-00-.……… or 8415-01-......…. does not contain numbers pertaining the year of contract or manufacture. It is also found on jackets from before 2000.
Below just two examples of many.
So yes, could be 2000-ish, but not by the 8415-number

Actually, I just found a Creative Apparell CWU -36P on Amazon. It was made in 1997, so I would say your jacket was made the same year or so. Contracts are usually only a year or two.

Found another one on Bonanza.com and it is a 2000. So it's 00 after the 8415- under the black marker on yours.

Ok, but if you check the post of Rutger above, you'll see that the 2 numbers after 8415 has nothing to do with the year.
