The answer is, yes. If you can post a photo of the jacket we can probably tell you who made it and very close to when.

You don't need permission to post, you need an external photo hosting account, like Photobucket or Flickr.

Thank you sir, I will try that.

 

[South9407]

I would love to get a size 42 or 44. I Could make a 40 work but it will be a little snug. I would appreciate the info tho.
Thanks, Glenn

 

[South9407]

I would like a size 42 or 44 if at all possible.
Thanks, Glenn

Size 42 or 44 if possible

There are several available: a 42 M-422A, a large 40 AN-J-3 (civy) and a 44 AN-J-3 (mil spec).

 

[Dr H]

Glenn, the civy AN-J-3 (a Doniger) fits as a (vintage) 42 and is in great condition. The mil spec AN-J-3 (untagged, unknown maker) is a generous 44, but has seen more use with some period repairs to a sleeve (replaced cuffs and lining). I can't PM you, but contact me if you're interested.
