M-65 Style Jacket Suggestions

Thread Starter 
So i was at UO this weekend and came across this jacket
http://images.urbanoutfitters.com/is...36_b?$magnify$
I really like the style, and when I sized down it really doesn't look as bulky as it does in that picture.

My question, does anyone have any suggestions for a M-65 style jacket like this one?
I'm looking for something with a canvas like material, price 100-200$ish?

I wouldn't mind spending more if the quality was there. The ones on the military surplus sites seem to be made of that nylon like ripstop, and everything military issue seems to run huge.

I like this one at Context, but the current sizing is very limited. http://www.contextclothing.com/item.php?id=552

Get a real M-65 from an army surplus outfit.

all the surplus websites seem to have some tacky reproductions, any idea on where to get the real thing

Made in the USA.

Impregnated canvas, giant zippers, huge buttons everywhere, down button in liners, velcro everything, and giant air pockets. Epic freezing winter clothing.

unless you're looking at NDG prices then I also agree with the surplus vote

Whatever you do dont be someone who pays $200 for a freaking m-65 field jacket. Guys who were in service hate these things it is the most useless piece of garbage you are issued, but man have they came back in style.

I am not super familiar with NY geography... but there are 8 million people in NYC, I guarantee if you go to 4-5 thrift stores you are bound to find an m-65.

If you are looking for slim fit M-65 style jacket then go with fashion brand otherwise go with military repro. Japanese brands as Hare, Wjk tend to make good slim fit M-65 style jacket.
