I don't discount the chance that the jacket BG was wearing might have been homemade using one of the Patterns available. But the hash marks (chevron looking stripes) on BG's sleeve match the same on the articles I posted - jackets that were actually manufactured. The Mc'Calls and other 'pattern' products did not have or show those has marks.
BG's Jacket also has the same number of eyelets and is in the same direction "stitching" as the manufactured jackets. (see: arrow patterns on all the accent stitching.)
I am open to being wrong about it but I think her jacket was store bought (at least) originally.
Did they clean BG's jacket before photographing it? It seems in reasonable condition if she was found lying face down in a ditch. The eyelets are bright silver and there are no shiny wear marks or creasing on the arms joints - (though I can see some stains in the front and on the cuffs)
I wondered why the label was removed?
The jacket doesn't seem 'well worn'. I wonder if it had been a recent purchase by her.
