The '51 is my favourite, of ours. Still looks like a proper Field Jacket. Adding Velcro ruined them, as did taking all of the fitting out of the sleeves, IMHO.

Thank you, G,
The M51 is very clean, it even came with the correct wool frieze liner...
It also came with a cool but not correct M43 hood that I will not use until I find a legit M 43 field coat.

There may be 2 M51 hoods. I may still have one of the button on hoods with the wolf fur around the front of it. Heavy cotton/nylon with a woolen inside, if I remember correctly.
Have to look for it, now.
There may have been a plain hood without the fur, as well, but M43 hoods were used widely with the M51, as they were plentiful, cheap, and light in weight.

Got this M51 a few days ago.
This particular serviceman has had a pretty lengthy career.
As a 1st. Lt. he was part of the 11th Abn. Division . Apparently he was a pilot.
With the M51 came an early HBT shirt named to this officer that has been stripped of insignia except for Name and US ARMY tapes.
Will post it elsewhere...
