As for differences between this reproduction and originals, having seen Jim's photos, I'd say there are similar differences between wartime originals.
Indeed, Jim is to be commended for taking this initiative and Irfan for applying his skills while making a living.
Let's leave this debate where it is and move on to the next project: denim coveralls. Bring it on Jim & Irfan!

Well my suit arrived today, and I have to say I am very very very happy with it indeed ! A perfect fit too. I am a typical size of your average 1940's British soldier ! 5'10" 36" chest 32" waist. I purchased a size 5 and it's spot on with my denim bottoms on underneath and a jumper.
Very warm too.
So glad I bit the bullet and got one now.
