schk Posted August 14, 2020 Share #4 Posted August 14, 2020 These are recent reproductions that are flooding eBay, and from what others have mentioned to me, Facebook military for sale groups. There's countless things wrong with these reproductions that I'm not sure it's wise to point out all the flaws as they may attempt to correct them in later versions. Currently they appear to be making trousers and pants marked Medium Regular. I haven't seen these in person, but from talking to a friend who was sold one of these, the threads used aren't even 100% cotton thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksmith Posted August 14, 2020 Share #6 Posted August 14, 2020 Neither original, nor an “incredibly good repro”, in my opinion. I don’t like the fabric, color, buttons, or stitching honestly, but folks know these better than I do - and will likely be along soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schk Posted August 14, 2020 Share #7 Posted August 14, 2020 I sent this photo to the OP in a PM, but figure I would put it here for a warning to anyone who is thinking of buying these terrible repros (they have matching trousers, which are somehow worse than these jackets) Compare this original to the closeup posted above and you should see multiple red flags immediately.
