Fashion

I’m wearing Uniqlo at the moment. Before that American apparel. I get 10 or so t-shirts in one go and wear them until they’re done. Usually takes me about a year or two.

Current JW Anderson Uniqlo collection is worth a browse if you ask me. Some great items there.

Not posted in this thread before but thought this might be of interest, it's raising money for NHS nurses and carers and it's a lovely thing:

In the interest of transparency this is my brother's company so a somewhat shameless plug. If that irks you than please feel free to move on. If you're interested do have a look.

Nice jacket, not sure about that shade of green though...

Field jacket/M-65 jacket

Community Clothing do a nice one, but any other decent options?

Mr Freedom do an interesting range, though not specifically M-65.

Always army surplus.

Still trying to decide if £400 is still too much for Visvim FBTs

How authentic do you want? The CC isn't particularly true to the original. Agree with @DerDieDas on Army Surplus.

If you wanted a modern iteration that is as close as dammit to the original, you won't beat Buzz Rickson/Real McCoy's.

blimey, you lot are all spendy! I've had to rule out Buzz Rickson/Real McCoy/Aspesi as too £££

Army Surplus it is. I do like the CC one, but yes, its less authentic looking.

blimey, you lot are all spendy!

This is LFGSS, my friend... ⛳🏌️

I assumed you had eliminated the surplus option by asking here.

army surplus isnt quite what i want either, but it's price point is keen, so i think i will buy and try

dunno what size you are but this one looks good

Try Brandit, Alpha, or Cockpit?

M-51 is nowhere near as casual as an M-65 in my opinion, despite it's small differences. The military connotations are far stronger.

i dont want to look too fighty, and obviously am not going for camouflage as that is just the uniform of the deranged

Deranged in what way?

angry office worker, disgruntled postman, jilted single father types

of course, this is largely an unfounded stereotype

Yeah good luck.

I like the m51 and the 65. Imo the 65 is better for layering over other things just coz it's a bit looser fitting and imo looks good even if it's a bit to big.
Also im not a jilted postman but do like camo

Re field jackets - Fenwicks have 50% of Aspesi atm https://www.fenwick.co.uk/men/clothing?prefn1=brand&prefv1=Aspesi

That Aspesi is nice. I went for one by Surplus from Military 1st.

Arrived today.

Looks great - true to the original.
