Lazily hunting down an M-51 parka in small... surprisingly difficult to do...
@bea yeah - but the fishtail cold weather ones.

@Fuego ahhhh neat i thought those were a separate thing! maybe i was thinking of the m-65?
i'm an MA-1 fan :3
@bea those parkas were designatedd m-48, m-51, and m-65 with small updates - M-48 is what I really want but they cost like $800. and an M-51 costs $150ish? They're so oversized to be work over uniform and helmet and field coat that smalls go fast
@Fuego makes sense
are you attached to getting a reproduction tho or are you down with derivatives?
@bea I'd take a good repro, or a well kept original probably - there's a site in the UK that sells really nice repros but they wand 40 pounds to ship to the US???
@bea if someone had a good derivative I'd take a look but the rrothco is trash and htegood ones are british made
@Fuego buzz rickson's does an m48 and has it in stock in small but obv we're talkin $$$ here because a) it's buzz rickson's and b) shipping from japan
i bet it kicks ass tho
@bea link me?? If I was gonna spend serious cash, I'd get one of these:
