Looks like a Gordon & Ferguson M-422a jacket, early WWII.

Or the Foster G-1 55J14, but I think Thor's right: the pencil slot looks more G & F. Nice jacket!

Really nice jacket there ...!
How did you come by that, may I ask ?!

The jacket was purchased from a private collector here in London. Unfortunately, this style of jacket really isn't for me I much prefer my A-2 so I thought I'd get as much info on the jacket as I can before it goes up for sale. As said before, label is missing but I'm a 38 chest and the jacket is a perfect fit.

Thanks for the speedy reply ... and I'm only sorry it's not a 42!
Good luck with the sale. Mind, I don't think you'll have much trouble moving it ....! ;-)

I am a 38. I'll be waiting to see if and when you sell it.

Probably a usn depot rebuild, judging by the zipper and lack of label. Any evidence of replaced lining or cuffs?

That collar if original is incredible (beautiful honey fade) and if this were a 42 or 44 we'd be talking by pm
