This comes with a liner but is 200+ with shipping...is it even a legit jacket or just one for civilian market?

My dad bought a surplus jacket when he got back from Vietnam in 1969. After reading this thread, I’m curious to see what year it is. It also has a fuzzy acrylic plush liner, but I’m not sure if that came with the jacket.

There are two types of liners; the fuzzy white liner is the warmer of the two. It is a thick liner that requires more space so the fit won't be too tight.

The second type is the polyester batting liner shown in the post above. It doesn't take up much space and is warm enough for freezing and above, and perhaps a little lower.

The liners aren't expensive, and I would recommend getting both and see which is more suitable to the climate in which it is worn.
