Because I put on a collar from another jacket :lol: I think it must be because of the sun / age, and the collar being folded over while the rest of the jacket was exposed to the elements.tamoko said:Way is different color on jacket and collar ?

Sounds reasonable, I know you know a lot about the Block Co.rpmooreii said:Great jacket but it isn't a sz 46. I had a Block AN-6552 in sz 46 and the pit was 25" front and back; full 4" in diameter bigger than the one you listed. I would guess that yours is a 42 as the Block AN-6552 jackets are typically 4" in diameter larger than their stated size (yours measures 46" so 46-4 = 42). I would respectfully suggest that you change the listing to reflect the true sz as someone really looking for a sz 46 will be pretty unhappy whenj they find out it is really a sz 42.
Great looking jacket nonetheless! Good luck w/ the sale.

One other mistake in the listing is the AN6552 was issued in '44 not '43.
What? No sir I would do no such thing. I was joking, thus the laughing face in the post. The color difference is most likely due to sun / weather. I did absolutely nothing to the jacket it is 100% original. Production date for the AN6552 I believe was 1943, that's what I found in my research anyway. I am honest in my listings and try to be as historically accurate as possible.rotagz said:Jaydee said:Because I put on a collar from another jacket :lol: I think it must be because of the sun / age, and the collar being folded over while the rest of the jacket was exposed to the elements.tamoko said:Way is different color on jacket and collar ?
So you replace a major element of the jacket without mentioning it in the listing. Caveat emptor, but the buyer may feel slightly mislead if he happens to notice. And now I have to wonder if the original collar had US or USN on it.
