will m. Posted January 9, 2015 Share #8 Posted January 9, 2015 Nice jacket with outstanding history!!!!!! Just proves that combat related isn't everything......well done!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navybean Posted January 9, 2015 Share #9 Posted January 9, 2015 That is a great jacket, M444 jackets did not always fair well and had a tendency to rip very easily. Every one I have had, has had numerous repairs. Great jacket and even better with the history. Great find PS be carefully leaving the jacket hanging on a hanger, I have seen hanger blow out the shoulders of more then one fleece coat. I like to store my fleece coats on torso halves or flat storage. Just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelby Posted October 3, 2016 Share #12 Posted October 3, 2016 Sir, I know this post is a little old, but this jacket belonged to my Grandfather. The family would like to get some information on it and was wondering if you still had it. I am new to this site and can't contact you directly. So if you have a few minutes, you could direct message me and I'll give you my number. Thanks for your time, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
