stealthytyler Posted August 2, 2015 Share #1 Posted August 2, 2015 I need to add a reproduction M41 Jacket to my display. I know ATF makes good ones and so does WWII Impressions (I do not want to spend over $250 though for WWII impression). I don't really care about the Made in China VS Made in USA debate. I like the ATF price point. Is there anything else out there that you would recommend? THANKS MUCH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Brick Posted August 2, 2015 Share #2 Posted August 2, 2015 From my understanding ATF has recently updated their M41 jackets and should be closer to originals than any of their previous lines. I own one of their previous lines and it is serving me very well for both reenactments and civilian wear-I am thoroughly impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattS Posted August 2, 2015 Share #3 Posted August 2, 2015 I have an ATF M41 that I like also. Funny you brought this up, I just got an e-mail from them today on this very topic: https://www.atthefrontshop.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=USUJM41&utm_source=New+Arrivals&utm_campaign=Shows+2014&utm_medium=email Here's mine with repro sergeant's stripes added (ala Sgt. Chip Saunders from Combat!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthytyler Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted August 3, 2015 Since you both bought atf jackets, were you happy with the fit? Did you simply measure your chest size and order the corresponding size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine came in a little large (that photo is pre-washing), and I don't know if it will shrink very much. In retrospect, I would have ordered a size smaller than my suit size (42R and not 44R).

MattS Posted August 3, 2015 Share #7 Posted August 3, 2015 I ordered my regular suit size and didn't measure myself. Have you seen WPG's? http://onlinemilitaria.net/products/68-US-M1941-Field-Jacket/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Brick Posted August 3, 2015 Share #8 Posted August 3, 2015 I had a family member measure my chest and I ordered a size up (44R) because a 42L is a hard jacket to find as a repro. But the adjustable tabs in the back are useful, and I'm satisfied with the fit especially the slant pockets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
