I got this yesterday, I was attracted by it's brightness and very good condition, it's a 40" but a tad tight for me, also the shoulders are well padded and on me it fits like a zoot suit jacket, maybe the guy it was tailored for was round shouldered?
Anyway it's a Burtons specially tailored whatever that is and the first I've seen of it's type with the owners name woven into the Burton's tag, any ideas of age, I 've looked on the Burton tag dating page and it doesn't quite match to any; personally I guess 70's?

Forgot to add there seems to have been another tag under or over the Burton one that was 3 1/2" x 3" which seems to be the same size as a few Harris tweed tags but why you'd remove one of those who knows unless Burtons tailored/altered it for the owner named on the Burton tag?
