I bought this L2B jacket a few years ago but it is two small for me and I managed to obtain a used Buzz Rickson L2BIt was produced by Skyline Clothing Corporation circa 1968 DSA-100-68-C-1678It is labled a Large All the knits will need replacing. These are avaliable from several reputable sources in the USA and Japan however I was planning to send it to Eastmans leather clothing in Devon. Other Eastman, Buzz Rickson and Real McCoy supplier such as History Preservation Associates () in New Jersey, USA may provide a similar service Its approximately a size 40 to 42 in chest please check the following measurements. Arm pit to pit 24", shoulder to end of cuff 25" Back collar seam to hem 22.5 " The cuffs are very damaged and I have added 3" for their length.Considering it around 50 years old its in good condition with no holes inside or out.The sage green nylon is in very good condition with the odd small blemish which you have to look hard to find. Both original brass Conmar Zips work well.The orange lining has visible wear - puckering. It is a wool backed rayon as opposed to the later polyester wadding. Any one with a knowledge of Buzz Rickson and Eastman clothing know this is how they differ from the most modern reproductions. Manufacturers seldom use combinations of natural seminsynthetic (rayon) and synthetic materials in one garment
