Have a Danish M65, an American M65, in woodland, and chocolate chip and og , have the new style British camo smock

What colour is the danish m65?
Any chance of a picture of the two m65?
You can email if its easier.

I would also consider an old ventile as long as its not too expensive.

How warm do you want it Rob

 

[robevs73]

Dont need warmth mate just a shell for knocking around the woods (as im a fussy sod I still want something nice!) I have a snowsled double layer ventile for bad weather.

Just a thought but I have a Deer Hunter Ram jacket.

Thanks for the offer but too warm for me and I want cotton for around the fire.

Think I'll get the smock in the Bushcraft store.
I wonder what the sizing is like.

German Flecktarn parka is exceptional value from these guys... v hard wearing but not waterproof:

Exemplary service from them too - best I've come across so far.

I've got an unused 65, with removable liner, we could do a trade ?

I've one of the Bushcraft store smocks in beige... they come up big....the sleeves are very(too) long I needed to shorten then with iron on hem tape.
Quality ok, seems to be pretty tough, lots of loose threads thoutgh which tidied up with a lighter. Strings poor quality and fluff up on velcro. (paracord will replace them soon)
Would probably be improved with a spraying of Fabseal...but its good and windproof, and with half a dozen buttons sewn inside my M65 liner fits it fine for extra warmth.
Loads of pockets too.

Reasonably pleased with it for the price.
Cheers
Gareth
