I don't think this jacket has featured on the forum before so I thought I'd post a few pics. I've had a hankering for an M-42 for a long time and after seeing all the great examples in the museums in Normandy I thought it was time to take the plunge. I'm not really one for repros but an original is beyond my price range and after examining a fair number of the cheaper repros and not being very impressed I contacted Miles in Japan who sourced me this as new example for a great price. I've handled originals and the weight and colour are spot on, the quality is the usual Buzz standard and all the fittings are correct to the originals. Sorry about the gratuitous posing but I think this jacket needs to be photographed being worn to appreciate it.
The back has a deep pleat and a gusset for ease of movement.
Nice nickel Conmatic main zipper.
Brass Conmatic zippers about six inches long are on each side of a concealed knife pocket.
