    WWII Parsons/M-41 Question

    Hello, I have a highly technical question about the early OD Field Jacket (aka "Parsons or M-38" Jacket). I thought I heard somewhere that the Parsons did not have "gussets" under the armpits--that is wasn't unitl the later field jacket variant (M-1941) where eppaulets were added (and pocket...

    N-3B Parka: Own one? Have an opinion?

    N-3B buttons Speaking of N-3B's, does anyone know where I could get two buttons for my 1963 jacket? Or even more modern N-3B buttons would do if necessary. Thanks.

    N-3B Parka: Own one? Have an opinion?

    I have 3 N-3B's dated 1963, 1970, and 1983 (with the fake fur). While I love these jackets, I have to admit that they are not as warm as my old Eddie Bauer Polar Parka. Just my opinion.
