Hi, I have already searched but could find no answer on the question, "Is Barba green label NOS and on par in workmanship to its black/white label?"

Any enlightenment will be appreciated.

Seems that way to me. My Green Label has all the pointlessly nice features:

MOP buttons
SC shoulder
Pretty gussets
Inside placket goes all the way around
Collar edges nice

Fit for Green is extra slim, black may be the same fit, white seems looser cut.

Ian at STF would know.

Yes, I got some Green label Barbas with thin MOP buttons and darts at the back. Cut is very slim and comparable to the more recent Black/White labels for the European market.

Thanks for the info.
