with just the outer shell its too cold. Its ok when its only 5 degrees but anything lower and I think "why didn't I put the lining in?"

The lining on its own wont fasten up and looks a bit funny so I cant wear that on its own

If I am right, this is basically the original 'genuine' M65 - is it?
http://www.silvermans.co.uk/Silver/docs/topframe.htm
£75
Plus 'genuine' liner here:
http://www.silvermans.co.uk/Silver/docs/topframe.htm
£35

If so complete jacket is £110

Note the Alpha site here:

And liner here:

Your e-bay version is excellent value if it includes a liner as well! Is it also 'genuine', ex-US Army stock from Germany maybe? Not that one would care at that price!
