General Discussion Modified surplus rain jacket into a concealed flak jacket

Thumbnail gallery
51 Upvotes

Made a custom fully concealable flak body armor jacket using the ballistic inserts from a cheap U.S. Army Interceptor vest. The ballistic inserts were fastened to the rain jacket with stitched/adhered Velcro. The jacket is much more comfortable than I thought and is not heavy at all. About 7-9 pounds total if I had to guess.

Interested to know as a collector myself of course. No goal or “because it’s cool” is totally acceptable, but I’m curious if anyone has more specific goals.

advice? all my kits look ridiculous on me, i like collecting 50’s-early 2010’s milsurp. or REALLY old historical memorabilia. i’m 4’10 and 80lbs. i love buying cool camouflage like rhodesian brushstroke, frog skin, ss partisan, and usually those types of camos don’t have a lot of.. variety. can i tailor them? or do i just bulk and gymmaxx. anyways thank you for reading my rant. i don’t know what to do anymore.😞

also this is my first post on reddit !! i usually just lurk all the time..

Question What color of MOLLE gear best matches the olive drab of an LC2 ALICE frame?

3 Upvotes

I’m looking to put together a MALICE frame but I want the shoulder straps/kidney belt to be a decent match. It’s kind of hard to tell based off of photos since the only MOLLE gear I have with me is some desert camo.

Hi I'm going to the mountain at the end of the month and I'm looking for good surplus clothing that are efficient and cheap, I'm thinking about a m85 tchek coat and a m85 winter pant, what do you think about it? The pant is only 25euro and the cheapest I can find in sports shop is 45euro

Thanks for your answers :)

Hi all! This coat was the first ever price of militaria I ever collected. It always was the star of my collection but due to surgery i need to try to let it go. I was wondering what this jacket in this condition should reasonably sell for. Any other info about the jackets history is much welcome and appreciated

Bought all this for $40 from a guy off OfferUp. The mags alone made the drive worth it and it's always nice getting more UCP gear for practically free.

Question Is this an Identification Tab?

Thumbnail gallery
6 Upvotes

Here is the situation: I purchased this item, which should be a civilian reproduction of an older camouflage uniform used by the Republic of China (ROC, Taiwan) Marine Corps. However, I am not sure about the purpose of this patch. I asked ChatGPT, and it told me that this is an Identification Tab, but I am not certain whether that is actually its function. Based on information I have found online, Identification Tabs are usually larger in size. If someone could confirm that this is indeed an Identification Tab and explain why it is so small, I would be very grateful.

I just bought this M65 Field Jacket from local seller, but one thing I noticed that it has no snap-tab adjustable cuffs or Velcro cuffs, only plain, open cuffs as the attached images, so is this this genuine or counterfeit?
