What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

[Tylbor]

Hi,
I'm new here and here is my jacket—G-1 Martin Lane DSA 100-69-C-1545. I'm also wearing C-1 vest modified a bit by it's former owner.
Currently I'm in a mood for finding a nice, military issued A2 jacket from late 80s early 90s.

And one more I was wearing yesterday while doing some errands—L-2B from the mid 70s.

Hi Tybor
Welcome to the forum. May I suggest that you tell us exactly what make A2 and size that you’re looking for. Many of us here have multiple jackets for sale and you may find what you’re looking for here.
Cheers

G-1 is perfect when it's cold in the morning and warmer in the afternoon....

Welcome Tylbor, That L2-B looks in fantastic condition.

Thanks Thomas,I think I’m guilty of not appreciating the jackets I have and have always been looking for something better.Hence I’ve ended up buying jackets back when I’ve come to my senses,,ive made my mind up to wear every jacket in my collection and use them without fear & stop babying them .

Hi,
thank you for the welcoming.
I'm a big fan of finding inexpensive stuff on eBay. My budget is always tight so I enjoy spending time of looking for jackets that are poorly described by the seller or is selling nice M1943 as M65—this happens from time to time. Right now I'm more into collecting tips how to determine which jacket is the real military issued even if the label has all contract numbers etc. And soon my new G1 and CWU-36 jackets should arrive.

Welcome Tylbor, That L2-B looks in fantastic condition.

Thank you very much.
I believe cuffs, waist and neck bands were professionally replaced. I've noticed it some time after buying it on eBay. But as a surplus enthusiast I value a lot even very distressed jackets with torn waistbands. It looks more badass to me.
Just like this N-2B; waistband looks like Emmental cheese.

I'm very happy today cause just received my Branded Garments A-2. A nice beater, I would say.

Hi,
nice jacket.
I was wondering if you know why some Branded Garments contracts are DLA100-92-C-0346 and some are DLA100-92-C-0346A. Some zippers are Ideal, some Scovill. I've noticed it when looking for a jacket on eBay. I even found jackets with handwritten size on the labels.

That jacket looks almost new! What size is it? United Sheeplined is not too far from where I live.
