Been looking through my dads attic... Found this jacket. Probably going to keep it because it's a perfect fit, but just looking for any information.

Many thanks.

Looks like a 1967 OG-107 field jacket... aka: the M-65 Field Jacket.

Found this at a surplus store by my house. The guy that worked there said he thought it was German. I feel like it is Swiss based on bags I have bought in the past and the color way used. It is super long which I like so it will stay tucked in. Metal buttons. Lead or Pewter? They are not magnetic. If any of you guys know about it would like to know more.

This was the only tag on it.

[Happy Hooligan]

^ that feels swedish to me... with the crown... they're probably zinc. I don't think they make lead buttons...

[cheapmuthafukr]

This is a great piece. Looks like it could be one of the inspiration pieces for Mister Freedom!

Does anyone know if there are any companies (mccoys et. al) that make the double strap M1943 combat service boot like these?

I want to get a pair eventually, and feel like actually mil surplus would be far too worn, or quite far out of my price range?

[Rivet Head]

If I interpret this correctly, eWorkers will no longer be making the 18.5 size shirts:

"Happy New Year.

1-3 month shirts to be produced, until now yet another size 14.5 size down, we will expand the size of 13.5.

Conversely, does the size of production 18.5.

Since last year, also started selling wholesale, we received many comments from our customers try.

Among them, the most wanted to see more of "a little smaller," it was.

Previously, demand from overseas customers 初Meta in the 18.5 size recently, very little if no order was added to 18.5 13.5 to reduce the size of the decision.

The more the number of expanded size, cost goes up.

Significantly reduce the work pattern. Stencil printing operation. But to cut it to fit the work patterns of cloth stamped, the task of cutting it further. Increasing the size of one, four is more work.

I create products, on time step considered minor until the actual manufacturing process, we believe that even a little cheaper to make high quality products. At the same time, it can not make it cut the pay.

For these reasons, it is not possible to increase the size was easy so far.

However, as mentioned earlier, due to decrease in size 18.5 13.5 came out to increase the size of the surplus.

Also, you now also supported the opinion that the persons who actually wear.

You may believe that mere size, distress and suffering decided New Year.

The decision will, I hope that you plan to improve our products with those of many people."

May I ask why you're getting rid of it? I have one and like it quite a bit.

Probably way out of your price range, but RRL (Julian) came out with a pair this FW season. I personally wouldn't buy them unless you can inspect them in person. As demonito mentioned in another thread, it looks like he didn't actually make these himself. Myself and others I know have had hit or miss (mostly misses) with this seasons RRL boots.

[robbie]

Those are a beautiful reproduction.

Just finding it hard to incorporate into the rest of what I wear. It's a great jacket though.

[hollowsleather]

My wife has a pair of the double strap boots, actual vintage, and they're really nice.

this is what you need

[robbie]

awesome!

must spread, thats exactly what I am lookin for!

[GregoryH]

those look incredible, all be it a little awkward to wear...maybe not, those RRL repros are fucking sex though

[robbie]

I am planning to wear them like an engineer boot. Obviously they are quite different. I like the buckles on engineer boots but i don't like it when shoes are even the least bit floppy so when I saw these on a militaria site I knew they were for me.

[Guest redchris]

Open to offers

As blasphemous as it may sound, I'm sort of tempted to sew down the tapered part on the back of my Tanker Jacket. The jacket is a great fit, I just can't get over how prominently the back can stick out.

[SLAB]

if it bothers you that much id say go ahead and try it out. you can still unravel the stitching afterward if the result is not satisfying

Are these good boots? They seem relatively inexpensive which I'm not saying is a bad thing but is suspect.

yeah. I've got a pair of the roughouts. they're made by corcoran to us mil specs from wwII. I think they dont have many sizes left though. you'll have to preorder.

this is them a few months in. 3 sno seal coats maybe?

this is them new after 2 coats of snoseal.

they're great for wearing in bad weather and when I dont want to mess up my aldens too bad. I havent taken pics recently, but the areas of wear are getting really shiny. pretty cool.

i did this on a G-1 style leather jacket. improved the fit and silhouette tremendously and i wear it all the time. that being said, it was not an expensive BR jacket. think i paid around $25 for it. (it was also not a real G-1)

i've been tempted by the tanker jacket many times, but never purchased because of that very feature. anytime i have jackets like that, the side panels billow out and look like some fashion disaster from the 80s.

i say screw "blasphemy." it's your jacket so do what you want with it.

[jstavrin]

I just scotch taped down the side and it looks a hell of a lot better. I think I'll go through with the sewing.

[TallyHo]

nice. maybe take before & after pics? i may end up buying one myself eventually...

[jstavrin]

You know, I might just leave it. I don't have a proper mirror in my new apartment so I think I've imagined it worse than it actually is. Who knows, it might not stick out as much over time. I've only been seriously wearing it for about a month.
