Love the fit of the surplus jacket. Cannot fit any better.
I'll agree there, Will. I think the Ike jacket is one of the finest short jacket designs ever made. This one dates to a 1945 contract. The color mismatch with the pants is because the jacket was made of the "new" dark shade drab and the pants, from 1940 or '41. are the old light shade drab.

Thanks,
Michael

I was bit hesitant about the sizing but thought I would throw a bid in when I saw you put it back up for sale on eBay and boy I’m glad I did, the jackets amazing in person the leather is crazy nice photos don’t do it justice I’ve never seen grain like this before on a jacket absolutely amazing , we are having a strange cold wet couple of days in my part of the world perfect jacket weather

Sure glad this worked out. Yes indeed, the grain on that jacket is something out of this world! A little more sleeve & torso length and I would not have let it go. Enjoy! :)

Works really well! Was a bit on the fence about the bold stitching when you first posted it, but it does look great on you!

Thanks I guess it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but it’s what attracted me to the jacket
