A few more photos showing single needle stitching, stitching over wrist elastic, buttonhole details. The last photo shows that a previous owner went around the buttonholes by hand to reinforce them, which is maybe why they look wrong (too puffy, too much thread, etc.).
It looks like it could have been made by SMW. I don't know who else makes them this close to the real thing. I should ask Steve if he ever used Plane Tree material for the lower sleeves (I know they are selling ones with Italian cloth sleeves now).
