Inside the coat the original label is present at the neck and bears the maker's name of 'Fordham Quality Casuals Fairfield N. J.' below which is a size tag which denotes the jacket as a medium.

The jacket is in good condition with some limited signs of wear and age. Overall it displays very well and is still totally wearable but please take time to study the pictures before purchasing and bear in mind that it is a pre-worn, vintage item which may have small issues commensurate with age.
A nice original USMC jacket with some great details.
