US Army M-65 field PARKA shell LARGE, and similar items

Welcome to my listings on Bonanza! I’m yet another refugee from the other site, you know, the one I can’t mention by name because I’m too afraid of getting a “cease and desist” letter from their legal department. Yes, THAT website. I do NOT make obscene profit on shipping handling. If I overcharge it is only for the sake of convenience in listing; you only pay the actual shipping and any balance is refunded to you. That said, I’ve been selling a long time and I pride myself on being the most honest seller on the web. I bend over backwards to provide excellent photos, short but concise descriptions and measurements when there is no manufacturer’s size/spec tag. Having said that, I do not provide additional measurements or photos because in my many years of selling I learned that people almost never purchase the item! Sorry, but I have to do what is in my best interest and that means saving time, MY time. If there is a maker’s flaw, rip, tear, stain, bald spot or otherwise damage worth showing, then I’ll show it in the photos and/or mention it in the Item Title or Item Description. Cat fur included at no extra charge. That means that I have two cats in my house and I let them sleep on any damned thing that they want to, including my merchandise as I photograph it for listing. I do not smoke and neither do my cats. ************************************************ Parka SHELL (liner hood sold separately) is in used, fair to good condition. Many repairs, all done well and none pictured. Sue me. Buttons on the wrist take-up tabs are both replacements; one of them is probably original and the other is not but is a reasonable facsimile. Again, sue me. So, Mr. Smartypants, how do you know it's a size "large" if the spec tag is missing, hmmmmm? Simple. I took a liner in size large and tested it out for button placement and height and it fits just fine. NOTE: you CAN use an M-65 field jacket liner in this but you'd have to either cut new holes or re-sew the buttons and that would be a huge PITA. WARNING: Do NOT purchase this thinking it is the same as an M-51 parka; it is NOT. Price includes shipping.
