Dear Folks:
This is the label of a riding coat in heavy navy blue wool, made by Huntsman for a huntswoman.
The label has lots of numbers.
I am guessing that the first ones show a make date of July 21 1958, but what are the others?
Are they a client identifier? I know some shirtmakers mark a shirt with a client number, but every other English coat label I have seen only has a client name and make date.
Any help appreciated.

Help me decode this Huntsman bespoke coat label
BH is probably the cutter. Dege used to do this on their labels.

Well, I don't know everything, but the (BH) refers to Brian Hall, the legendary Huntsman cutter.
A strange point of detail - an odd first post.
Huntsman will be in New York City this week, starting tomorrow (Barclay Intercontinental), which is still only a local call from the 718 area code.
