I sent an inquiry the other day asking John what he might have in a 44. This was one of the beauties shown. Amazing jacket. As tempting as it was, if folks in France can only wear these things a few weeks a year, there's no way i'd wear it in sun-baked California.

It's funny. I'm taking this course preparing me to enter the teaching credential program. The professor stipulated all kinds of extra requirements needed if I decide to teach out of state. I possibly thought of this B-3 and Alaska while he spoke.:)

It has all correct hide, cut/pattern ( pe like collar size ) plus all NOS WW2 metalware.
Collar size: all other makers overzize the collar if compared to WW2 ....
Hide: correct hide and no “Gobi desert” cracks in the outer fleece shell.
Torso: Correct WW2 torso pattern and not tubular shaped as some repros.
WW2 NOS metalware : No need to dig into details . Studs are United Carr marked ( others are house marked or unmarked) .
NOS WW2 correct Talon zip.
Conclusion; simply John, simply Goodwear...

Brice , there is no point in making your unstoppable arguments go into the head of a donkey ...

No wonder the waiting list is so long. Even if these are pre-paid custom orders, inserting these must delay the easier to make jackets already pattern cut.
Worth the cost & wait if it’s yours, must suck to have been waiting years.
A custom knife maker i know has a spreadsheet on his website where all orders are listed with customer last name so all can see how their order is progressing.

Seriously. You can't buy em like this anymore! Had to put $500 worth of art on it to make sure I never sell it!
