Offering a rare and hard-to-find item with an outstanding atmosphere, a valuable collector's piece. This is not a "nanchatte" (fake) military item, nor is it a Japanese replica like BUZZ RICKSON'S or Toys McCoy, or a Chinese replica like WAIPER, ROTHCO, or SESSLER. ■ Key Features ・A treasure! US Army original M-1951 field jacket with a Crown No. 10 die-cast ZIP. A collector's item. ・The M-1951 is the predecessor to the famous M-65. Quite a niche item. The M-51 is super rare, and these are becoming increasingly difficult to find. ・The zipper is a smooth Crown auto-lock slider, highly sought after by enthusiasts. ・Crown zippers are popular, and even [Buzz Rickson's] uses them, but they are reproduction zippers and do not have the USA stamp. This is not made in the USA. ・For those looking for a rare, original Vintage M-51 field jacket, please consider this. ・MIL specs are printed, not fabric-covered. ・The pockets are lined with wool. ・The snap buttons are Scovill. ・The soldier's name is handwritten on the lining. ・The shoulder epaulets also have an excellent atmosphere. ■ Details Contractor: THE PURITAN SPORTSWEAR CORP Manufactured: January 1952 SPEC: MIL-J-11448 Color: Olive Size: M-long Width: 58 cm Shoulder width: 50 cm Length: 88 cm Sleeve length: 65 cm Sleeve + shoulder length: 90 cm Please allow for slight variations. ■ Condition It has a cool, authentic US military look.
