I want to buy an M1943 or something close to it. No, I'm not into reenacting and thus don't care about historical accuracy, and yes, I've shopped for real (vintage) jackets on Ebay...larger sizes (I'm a 42 but would probably wear a 38 or 40) in good condition are hard to find and quite expensive.

I've found two sources for reproductions, "At The Front," and "What Price Glory." I can't figure out which is better. Or, is there a third option? Anyone make an updated version? I found on the internet an RL version that looks great but doesn't seem to exist anymore.
