Received my dong tanker in khaki “green”. Overall the jacket is nice and heavy has some heft to it. Smells like an old plano tacklebox, the color looks like it will age nicely, the knits are a little dark for my liking but I’ll live. The lining is wool and is some sort of dark mustardish color, again not my liking but luckily it’s only the lining. I’m gonna give it a cold wash to get rid of the smell. I’m normally a 41-42 chest I ordered a 44 and it fits great enough room to layer.

Take a look at my tanker in that thread to get an idea of what's that matter behind the different colors you see on the repro market.
Sure there were differences in the original od color back in ww2 but it also has to do with use and fading

N-1 Deck Jacket in Khaki
Hi VLJ, I've been looking at some N-1 repros and I'm really liking the Gizemo offering in Khaki: https://gizemoshop.myshopify.com/products/n-1-model-2-khaki?_pos=1&_sid=6e5f2ed0f&_ss=r I have a question though, is the khaki colour historically accurate? I've come across previous discussions...

I agree , I honestly think the material on this Dong jacket will age nicely. Overall I’m fairly happy with my purchase it cost me 98$ USD through A.Express shipped. For something I plan on beating up in the Chicago winters it should doTake a look at my tanker in that thread to get an idea of what's that matter behind the different colors you see on the repro market.
