D-1 Mechanics Jacket...strange sizing tag on a Werber contract...

[ties70]

Guys,

a quick question:
Has anyone ever seen a size tag that says "C" instead of the common "Small -Medium -Large - etc..."?

Thanks in advance,

Ties

Hey Ties,
According to Aota's Full Gear, that 1943 Werber contract is the only D-1 contract that listed sizes small, medium, large as A,B,C. Looks like you have a rare bird there! Does it fit as a large?

@Grant ,

thanks a lot!

I guess there a still sooo many things to learn.

The jacket was offered to @Shawn Ali , and he asked me about my opinion.

We agreed that an original D-1 would be a big step for his patterns, especially as his sleeve construction has room for improvement. The jacket itself is in "OK condition", not very good... a couple of patched-up holes, that look like glued not stitched. So the psychological hurdle to de-construct the jacket is probably not very high.

The seller describes the size of the jacket to be in the area of "44 - 48", which would probably relate to the "C".

Thanks again!

Ties

Never seen or heard of C....

Lend Lease? What are Small Medium and Large in Cyrillic?

"Homer, put it in B"

That's really cool! I hope Shawn springs for this one. With that cool little idiosyncrasy, it would be a unique offering.

He has followed your advice so far!

arriving to the 5 star FB post, didn't he (Shawn) already buy it?
