How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

After review it’s defintiely Finnish and 100% wool as for the grey field jacket. Here in Buffalo it’s a crisp, but not windy, snow on the ground but not in the sky, at least not until later tonight. Which means when I leave shortly to take pictures for a work event I think I will take it on it’s first outing.

Cool lining! Is that the one with the french seams? Also, you sure the sleeves are gonna work?

Not sure about french seams.
Not sure about sleeves. I can return the jacket of it does not fit.
I sent an e-mail to Gail asking for any info she might have.

There are several version of this jacket. Most common one is the later model with, well, regular seams. This one. I've had that jacket. Really cool stuff.
But there's an earlier version with french seams and brown stitching and brown zipper tapes. I can't find a photo of an actual one right now but this repro is spot on. These are rare but they're really sweet looking jackets.

Thank you. The Few usually fits me better than the other Japanese brands. This is size 36 but not quite the Western size 36 and yet roomier than the other Japanese brands. Oh, actually it fits quite like Lewis size 36 but with shorter sleeves and length.Excellent jacket with an amazing fit... congrats!

That jacket needs a full blown thread. Gorgeous. Looks like a fairly beefy hide too.

Thank you. Baldalassi cowhide. The darker shade (Seal?) looks shinny and coated. Different type of dye I guess. Been looking for one in brown for quite a while. Saw a bunch of black Toys McCoy and Real McCoy's. Got fed up and bought a black Levi's Japan one a few months ago then this came. Would be perfect if they use the Hookless zipper like the Toys McCoy.

Leather looks and feels like those used in making bags by brands like Marlboro Classics and Mulberry in the "old" days. By old days, I mean 80s, LOL.
I meant to say quite typical Italian leather you see on many branded goods.

Finnish indeed. "Valtion pukutehdas" means roughly translated "Goverment clothing factory". It is (was) finnish government owned factory that made clothing for finnish army, Police, firefighters and other government employees. Judging by style you have in your possession a model 65 (means year of uniform style) wool tunic. It's hard to judge the colour by the photos, but if it is grey, its finnish infantry coat and if it is blueish grey it's probably finnish airforce.
