The reason to bi sided butoning is the particularity of naval coats. When saillors used to spend Time on the deck, to keep direction on windy area, it was usefull to change the way to close it on the good side to let the wind sliding on the upper side. Duffle coats permited to change it too for...
Yes, I often heard that the "MS" means Mil spec. In fact, it means Mel Schott, Irvin Schott's son "IS".
The 184 is the same that the 674, but in cow hide, the 674 is steer.

In France, the...

IMO cold weather is a pretext for wearing old heavy vintage clothes we love.
For me:
ANJ4 (eastman)
Irvin modified (ALC)

Congrats: beautifull jacket.

If you want something as close as possible of the RN WWII duffel coat, Spittfire Shows you the model you have to find. There were two patterns. Both in Camel colour. The first one was with 3 buttons (wood brandebourg), and a collar latch. The second one is exactly the model on Spittfire's...
Hello.
I would say late 80's/early 90's.
I don't remember when the bull was replaced by a biker on his bike, but it could be an indication.
I never see a YKK zipper on this before (it doesn't seem a replacement). So, it's after Talon period, and before the Schott brand name zips.
Moreover, I...
I've got 4 of them... I bought the first new, there were 18 years ago.
The new ones dosen't smell anymore. Personally, I prefer the older ones (like yours). Congrats.
