Jacket shows extremely fine quality tailoring by a prestigious firm which is still in business today, Austin Reed of Regent Street . Dated on maker's label 1/3/43. Named to the officer (his first two initials and surname), along with a 6-digit number which I suppose may have been the order number at Austin Reed. Two inside pockets and a nice outside watch pocket. Size is perhaps around a 34 or 35.
