    mountain windjacket - military ?

    Thanks Patrick ! It's going to be one of my 4 models made of Ventile. Full front zip modification though. Btw, I haven't seen yet a US WW2 ski anorak. Only the reversible pullover parka. There is one resembling the British SAS smock but I think it's post war. What did the 10th Mountain...

    mountain troops boots
