kammo-man Posted February 15, 2012 Share #9 Posted February 15, 2012 To me IMHO this is a 100% real modified Jungle jacket in every way. If you want to learn about REAL jackets ...........well this my friends is the benchmark jacket ...... To me it has all the hall marks of an original vintage sewing job leading me to believe its a war time product . owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marentius Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share #10 Posted February 15, 2012 O.,fully agree with you,a great piece indeed,at least from this auction I am getting a neat set of pictures of the original thing, while trying to locate on G@@gle maps the bank nearest to my office I'll pay later a visit to it with a hood on my face and a gun in my hand,let's call it an emergency funds raising....

X_redcatcher Posted February 15, 2012 Share #11 Posted February 15, 2012 while I do love this jacket and it does have all the halmarks of a "over the fence" shirt, the SF did this kind of mods for quite a while. Well there still doing them. My "Top" back in my Ft Benning days showed up in the field one day with a shirt like this one, He just said , there just like the ones he had in Nam and had one made up outside of the base. He also still wore a CCS ring on one finger too,,and I wish I could reamber his name. He always had little tips and tricks, but would only say, he learned them in Nam. It was back in the day when SOG was still not talked about much, I had a small group of SOG patches that he looked at, saw the CCS and then showed me his ring. But it was always, just "I learned it in Nam" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy vs Spy Posted February 15, 2012 Share #12 Posted February 15, 2012 Owen, is this a trusted seller? Would be interesting to know were he found the jacket. I have never seen a real one up front, but I would like to say this looks real to me. Will follow up on this one, can´t wait to se what last price ends up at. //Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhk Posted February 15, 2012 Share #13 Posted February 15, 2012 Good looking jacket but i see one problem there. If its used "over the fence" tags should be removed. 4 days still left and already $500 I quess im listing my modified jacket&pants today if someone are interested. It came from well known sog collection Mikko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came from well known sog collection Mikko I'm with Mikko on this one, It's a very nice jacket but there's no way of knowing exactly when the work was done. the only way to buy a modified uniform Is with full veteran provenance really and then you will be paying a LOT more than this. Mikko, would love to see pictures of your set. Yours, Guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X_redcatcher Posted February 15, 2012 Share #15 Posted February 15, 2012 I would have to agree,,if it was 25 bucks,,,sure even more than that,,,but more than 500 for it,,na,,pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bought from him in the past and he's a great guy to deal with in my opinion. Fantastic jacket! Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kammo-man Posted February 15, 2012 Share #21 Posted February 15, 2012 Guy , When one sees an original piece one must use the force to guide you. And this is one of those pieces . Will , you are 100%correct , Hulka is a well known South Cali picker who runs in every swop meet I have ever been to . His stuff is always real. If this jacket was a spray paint job I would be seriously thinking of moving on it . owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Force Posted February 15, 2012 Share #22 Posted February 15, 2012 I get allready several times in business with sgt.hulka! He is very nice guy and you get always 100% the real thing! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treetop Posted February 15, 2012 Share #23 Posted February 15, 2012 The sewing on the modifications look just like the modifications on a BDQ jacket I used to have which were done in a vietnameese tailor shop. Nice indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibcity Posted February 15, 2012 Share #24 Posted February 15, 2012 Mikko, Very nice jacket you have on ebay :thumbsup: I have one like it but the pockets in back were off of another jungle jacket. (It looks like the four pockets of one jacket were used to add four pockets to another) Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
