So I would like to get a repro M1941 Field Jacket to wear for parades, etc. I see the two primary vendors selling them are At The Front and Man The Line. I do not have experience with either of these vendors so was looking to see in anyone has any advice or feedback on their jackets.
I have bought some repro items from WWII Impressions years ago, it was very good quality but their M1941 Field Jacket is 3x the price of the other vendors.
Thanks

I would look at ATF. They’re reasonable and its a solid repro

Ditto on At The Front....if you don’t want to shell out the money for a WWII Impressions jacket. Almost all of my gear and uniforms are from them.

Years ago I bought one from WWII Impressions and it was really nice except it had a European zipper (backwards).

Re: Advice on New M1941 Field Jacket
So I ending up getting one from ATF, unfortunately the sizing was way off on it. Specifically the torso length was very short, I am 6'3" and it didn't come down to my waist. I returned it and happened to catch one of Man The Line's 24 hour sales and got theirs for 50% off. Quality looks just the same to me and they use a wool blend liner unlike ATF who use a teflon blend, the biggest thing is that it fits right (sleeves, torso, shoulders).
Thanks to everyone for their input.
