Haven't posted here in a while, but I still lurk around. Got a question. I bought this USAF field jacket for the opening bid a few weeks ago. I was a bit skeptical about the spec tag in that it seems a bit Spartan as compared to other 1960s spec tags I've seen in other kinds of jackets. But then the jacket arrived and it sure appeared to be legit. It has the proper black leather reinforced chinch cord openings and a 'fifties or early 'sixties Conmar zipper in collar. And it has the period-correct, M-51 buttons as opposed to the style used on M-65s. Also, since buying this jacket I've seen two others on e-bay with the same kind of tag. Finally, I can't imagine who would want to reproduce these ugly, clown-collared jackets...or said differently...its so undesirable it must be real.
So what do y'all think? Real or knock off?
