Is $100 too much for a German Army Jacket

There are a few at the local Surplus and look like they could be good for a winter coat =) I just don't know if they are worth the price...

Flecktarn or older OD?!

The current Flecktarn "winterparker" needs the liner (Unterziehjacke Kälteschutz) with it!!!!
The liner can also be worn with the Goretex Jacket:


Or is it just a "Feldbluse"?!

$100 is too much for both! They are available for €1 at ebay Germany, postage to Canada will be less than €50 via DHL... :wink:

But maybe it is not a genuine German Bundeswehr one - just such a "MILTEC-TEACGEAR-Copy-Smock".
They start at approx. €60 up to €190.
Please check at Ranger Shop to see regular German Shop prices:

This was a dutch one - very similar to UK pattern.
€20 in Germany, not $100...
