French F2 jackets -- best place to nab 'em?

[Jovan]

I've grown in love with this style of jacket, especially with the buttons on the pocket flaps. Is there any place anyone recommends getting these from? I've seem a number of them online, but having never tried one on in person, want to be dead-sure I know what I'm doing, in condition vs. price.

Thanks!

I did not know what style this jacket was and looked it up.
See here for a picture and to purchase. The price looks right.

Do you mean the F2 in Central European camouflage or the earlier F1 in Olive Drab? I only ask because most people prefer the latter. The jackets are becoming rare now, even in France and original trousers are almost impossible to find now. I know of a surplus store with a stock of grade 1 F1 jackets in the UK, but they are all small and medium sizes. Big sizes of F1s were always rare. Any good to you?

I only need a medium, so yeah, that would work. I am indeed referring to the olive drab. Strange, the sites I've seen them on before refer to the ODs as F2. [huh]
