Reproduction mid 60's M-51 Field Jacket

[Buffalo Grunt]

I have a good friend who served in Korea in 1965-1966 at Camp Coiner with the 304th Signal Battalion and I'd like to put together a Field Jacket for him as a gift. I have just about all the items that I need patches, etc. And I saw that I can buy the name tapes off of these folks: http://www.mooremilitaria.com/

 

I'd like to get him an original Field Jacket, but he'll need an XL, so I'm just going to get him a reproduction M-51 and I figured that someone on here can give me some pointers on who makes the best reproduction M-51.

 

Thanks in advance ..

Does anyone have a reproduction M51 on this forum?

To be honest, I don't know that anybody reproduces them. They don't have as high of a demand as M41, M43, and M65 field jackets. You might be able to find one in XL, I know XL sizes are out there on most military uniform/clothing items, you just have to look for them.

Alpha industries has them if I remember right.

I wouldn't mind finding an original M51 XL field jacket myself, they're out there, and if you found one, you'd have to dig deep into your pocket.

US Wings has XL Repros, don't look too bad... http://www.uswings.com/m-65.asp#ALPHAM51

Nevermind they don't have them anymore at Alpha
