gap Posted March 9, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 9, 2020 Recently purchased a Feb. 1945 pattern M1943 field jacket that is missing two front closure buttons. They are more brown than green in color. Anyone have extra buttons to spare or know of a source for originals? I wonder if I could scavenge them from a hood, which seem to be more plentiful than jackets! Thanks.

husk Posted March 14, 2020 Share #2 Posted March 14, 2020 I looked at WWII sewing kits online when I was in the same predicament, but they were too pricey, so I ended up cannibalizing one from a hood. At the time I had a bunch of unissued hoods that I found in a surplus store for $1.95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
