My vote is for good period examples. In the Canadian style of manufacture.

No, I do not think modern or reproduction, but, the maker is another issue, a particular tailor may have used a just a couple of manufacturers for brevets that they sold, but, that particular manufacturer might well have sold their wares to a very considerable number of retailors.
