I´ve always liked the so called ike jackets, but the replicas are too expensive and originals even more. There are some decent ones to be found on eBay (occasionally), but I don´t trust the measurments.

So I gave it a try and looked for something like the ike jacket on the czech internet.
I´ve found only two models, both modern, both for about 20 dollars - I´d like to know your opinion.

1) Hellenic army surplus, they say that the color is olive green, hope it´s not the one on the pictures:

2) French airforce surplus - would fit my aviation madness, but you know... it´s french and I don´t really like it, but what if...

I´d like to know your opinion, please.

Go with the first one. Looks both more practical, with the larger pockets and the difference and cut, and more original, with the overall shape being very similar to British battledress.
