Hi, I bought this cheap a few years back, it has no label. judging by the stitch holes it has been relined, replacement AERO zipper, replacement cuffs. It has a United Carr popper on the inside pocket with a cream lining. The front two pockets have a dark green lining. Black USN stamp on the back of the collar.

It is indeed an Ed Church, which I think later became Burjac. The two most obvious tell-tales are the black USN and extea deep pocket flaps. The leather looks lovely, with fantastic shine. Once renovated that will be very nice! Its a pity the zip has been replaced so poorly in the past, but no big deal..

Thanks for the info guys, that's ace! Amazing to get that response so quickly. The leather is in pretty good shape and is really asking to be restored.

If the leather's in good sound condition, you definitely have a diamond in the rough! I posted this earlier, but here's a Church that received new mouton, lining and knits.

Sweet! If I get any free time soon I’m going to do mine. Already have a NOS Talon zip & a NOS waistband set back for it. Only been about 15 yrs since I bought the jacket!
