The Real Deal, USMC Issue Peckham Polartec 300 Fleece Jacket.

So many individuals have been ripped of on Ebay by sellers. Like Bijan knee Pads Peckham makes to types,
the ones for USMC & SF, or the Alphabet gang. Even thou the colour are the same. The one Issued to SF, ect
is classified as Coyote Tan, the one issued to USMC is classified as Coyote Brown, even if both are same
exact same style and colour. The only difference is the one Issued to USMC will have the USMC EGA Black and
Red Label. The one issued to SF, ect will have the Peckham Tag. Heads-up all Polartec fleece 100 or 300
Long-johns Tops hat ect if it doesn't have the USMC EGA it's not USMC Issue. Note the one in Black Fleece
300 thats USMC, also comes with the USMC EGA Red & Black Label.


USMC Issue.




















SF, or Alphabet Gang Issue with the Peckham Tag.

. The only difference is the one Issued to USMC will have the USMC EGA Black and
Red Label. The one issued to SF, ect will have the Peckham Tag. Heads-up all Polartec fleece 100 or 300
Long-johns Tops hat ect if it doesn't have the USMC EGA it's not USMC Issue.

Sorry , but this is just not true , I got a Peckham tagged one and it was issued directly from Marine Corps to my Navy friend when he was attached to their unit for intel , the Marines set him up with everything he had so he matched the unit he was assigned too.

And what is this fascination with all things SF? For what it is worth, the knee pads you keep going on about being "SF" are just common issue items, for everyone, not just "SF".

You belive what you want to, I know what real USMC Issue is. All Marines get Peckham Fleece with the USMC EGA Tag.

Therefore why does all 4 of mine, Have the USMC EGA Tag and not the Peckham Tag.

There's No fascination with SF. The Kneepads in my Picture are USMC Issue, SF and the Alphabet Gang gets the ones with the Rivets.
For everyone you say, all US Army that I've seen use ACU.

This is what happens when you hang out on Ebay believing what sellers tell you.

OR, lets just pretend for a moment that ebay has nothing to do with it, and I am a US Army veteran with 22 years of service who was issued the pads in CONUS, and wore them in theater while trading lead with bad guys.

I even Have USMC Issue Marine Corps Diapers, With the TAG! Lol.

You belive what you want to, I know what real USMC Issue is. All Marines get Peckham Fleece with the USMC EGA Tag.

Therefore why does all 4 of mine, Have the USMC EGA Tag and not the Peckham Tag.

Just because thats what was issued too you does not mean that is the final word , pre Marine tagged shirts could very well have been issued before Peckham was geared up with U.S. Marine tags to sew in them , Or do you think the Marines would not have issued them as they were missing the tag "sorry boys , no shirts ,they dont have the "OFFICIAL" tag " , one thing I have learned in the many years of doing this is always expect the unexpected , and never say never .
Your comments about ebay are quite amusing since your the one bringing ebay into the equation, I brought a Navy intelligence officer who was issued the kit , and Mike speaks from years of actual service.

Trust me, believe Hooviedude and Panzerwerk. Hooviedude is a veteran, so he knows what he talked about. Panzerwerk has been collecting for long time and knows many great veterans. I can vouch for them both.

Bottom line..... The ECWS fleece jacket like this were issued to EVERYONE. Grunts and SF. The coyote brown with USMC tag like this one is for obviously USMC.

Yes, all my knowledge comes from ebay and airsoft. And thanks, I know firsthand the real cost of war.

Since supposedly both are USMC Issue, then I'm just informing to others who are interested in buying.
The Peckham Polartec 300 Fleece Jacket, in Black or C.B. comes with two Types of tags. The one with
the Peckham Tag and the one with the USMC EGA are also produced, same style and colours. Personally
for the $$ they go for, purchasing the one that has the EGA Tag is nicer.

Please not all my old Woodland Fatigues, Blouse, Jackets, Parka ect., even Woodland GENII & I ECWCS Gore-Tex has the
small black USMC EGA on the Tag. And that also goes for my Bivi Woodland cover at the foot has a
Big label with a USMC EGA.









The black ones are hard to find, whoever is interested This seller sells them. Blackhawk Warrior Wear USMC Fleece Jacket
PolarTec 300 Black 2XL. for $100.00USf. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=867504

GenI ECWCS with EGA? Pictures please!

Yeah, all else being equal the type intended explicitly for a military force should be worth more than the commercial stuff that was sometimes "substituted" in as issued kit. It's only when both the contract made and commercial stuff is common as dirt, like ACUs are at the moment, that it really doesn't make a difference.

To echo statements above... there's a ton of commercial kit out there that has been officially, semi-officially, or unofficially used by military forces. Buyer should beware of the differences because it's stupid to pay more for something that can be picked up from any decent Army/Navy shop. But buyers shouldn't be fooled into thinking that there's always a difference between contract and commercial. Sometimes there is no difference at all except for the tag. And sometimes even the military uses the commercial stuff, for one reason or another. Like this 100% commercial ACU top recently back from Baghdad:



Since it came from a buddy who wore it in service, I can not only say for sure it went to Baghdad and back, I can say for sure why it went there in the first place. Navy doesn't have ready stocks of ACUs, US Cavalry (or wherever he bought it) does The trousers and hat I got were genuine issue, so eventually he managed to pick up contract kit.

Those Tru-Spec DCU's came through DRMO.
