m41 jackets in the movies

[Chandler]

Also, in the 3rd "Dirty Harry" movie (is it "The Enforcer"), the one with Tyne Daily, one of the "bad" guys wears one.

That's right, Bobby Maxwell -- head of the "gang." (don't ask me how I remember that) Had forgotten that one.

In "The Lost Boys" (1987"
Jason Patrick wears both M-41 and A-2

Referred to earlier in the thread, but great to look at, because I love Gene Barry"s look in this film:

It's actually an M38, or a civilian copy of one, that Gene is wearing in the still.

WWII Impressions has a repro of the M-38 field jacket.

Jacket, Field, OD (M41 Jacket)

Indeed, they do. The hope is that ATF could come in about 90 to 100 bucks less.

I bet if enough here showed an interest and sent a few emails it might prompt ATF to do a run of them.

They did a run.... Search around.

 

[deand]

Well,well,well...an ATF M38 for sale at the Lounge. Alas, too small! The search will continue!

 

[deand]

On top which, the listing is 5 years old! Have to pay closer attention to the dates on search results.

As the thread has been recently refreshed....

.... I have found a cool series on Netflix: it's a French / Belgian co-production called Black Spot / Zone Blanche, and an M-41-ish jacket seems to be standard for the French policemen in that series...

You should give the series a try. Beautiful nature, filmed in the Vosges mountains... A creepy story, little bit like Twin Peaks without the comic and over the top moments!

I still would like to see what the M-38 looks like on someone. All I ever see is the M-41 in most photos.
