Coldest Weather I've been in
We've had one warm day (this past Sunday) and the rest of the time it's struggled to get up to 10C on a good day. It was snowing on my walk this morning and heavy snow just after lunch, although the sun is out now. Our local farmers must be frustrated. I hope your garden survives!- Doctor Damage

Alpha Industries M65 Field Jacket
Yeah, you're right of course, something that works for person A might not work for person B, and vice versa. I'm sure Alpha makes the best (non-Japanese niche repro) but every time I notice they sell the liners separately I think "screw them", they're just double dipping, haha- Doctor Damage

Alpha Industries M65 Field Jacket
There's always Mil-Tec, another European brand, which has the details but I suspect is a notch below Rothco (wild speculation just based on photos of used stuff I've seen). Can you comment, Trenchfriend or anyone? edit: forgot about Brandit... anyone?- Doctor Damage

Alpha Industries M65 Field Jacket
Been looking over repros and they're a mixed bag. Helikon seems to have the overall "best" configuration, but I'm not sure those are still available. Alpha has a nice version although they seem to have shrunk the breast pockets a bit and raised the hip pockets (or dropped the hem). Rothco has...- Doctor Damage

Yeah, I was puzzled both the choice of cloth, too. I think your USMC cloth would be much better.- Doctor Damage

Alpha Industries M65 Field Jacket
Does anyone know what that button the front fly just below the collar is used for? It doesn't seal the fly since poppers do that, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the foldaway hood, at least as far as I can tell.- Doctor Damage
