This is a USAF Field Jacket in size Medium Long in OD Green. Overall VG used condition. The coat has some wear through around the collar (see photos) and an L shaped repair at the bottom center (it is hidden when closed and worn). There are some other wear areas here and there, but overall it is a serviceable field jacket with life left. Just used enough you won't feel bad actually wearing it around.. These jackets have an interesting history. The Air Force issued them from the 50's through the mid to late 1960's before switching to the M-65 field jacket. They can quickly be spotted by their exposed snaps on the pockets and a large collar that contains a roll up hood. These are rare jackets and are hard to find in larger sizes. Learn More

Jungle Boots, 3rd Pattern, Vibram Sole. These are excellent reproductions made in Germany by Pike Brothers. Excellent quality and eye for detail, these boots are made like the early 3rd patterns without the spike protective plate. The boots are made on a wide last, and are available in whole sizes, 8 through 13. As they are a wide, they run a little larger than a regular width. If you wear a half size, drop down vs ordering up. The original mesh "do not boil" insole could not be reproduced with satisfactory results so it was decided to just not include an additional insole. By having the wide last, this will allow you to put whatever insole is most comfortable for you (for example any of the store brand, Dr Scholls, etc). The the market on original Vibram sole boots breaking the $350 a pair mark, why risk a mint pair having soles that crack or destroying a piece of history.
This is a new run! Improvements have been made to include thicker leather and nylon, new mil-spec nylon and improved dye lots / ink stamps. The first run looked good and help up well, but these look even better (and size 13 was added)! Learn More
