Repro Mackinaw?

[asiamiles]

Can anyone recommend a good quality repro WWII US Army Mackinaw? I've been looking out for a Buzz for some time now but they are few and far between and when a Medium popped up it looked to be too big...I'm guessing one needs to size down as they were made to be worn over a field jacket? I'm after the shawl collar version with a cotton outer (as used for Tankers) rather than poplin (as used for M-41s).

Thanks!

Miles,

I have an early At The Front Medium/40R Mackinaw here in great shape. I have not worn it since I bought it. Let me know if you want some pics. Surplus to needs. Will do it for actual shipping cost only and a favor down the line when I need it...

You can pick originals up so readily though, in great condition. Picked up mine for pratically nothing and got it tailors to fit better.

Whenever I've looked on eBay, there's been nothing suitable or cheap.

I put this up on VLJ some time back without a response so I listed on Ebay, very disappointed with the result as this was a lightly fade but almost perfect specimen in size 38. I believe they run a little larger in size like field jackets so it would probably fit a size 40 maybe 42.

This later 3rd pattern jacket probably is much more commonly found and so sells at a lower price than the first pattern ones, which is what I'm after.
