Pattern 83 Battle Jacket and Rucksack Bundle

Lookin' good, feelin' good. Awesome piece of kit and was in real good condition.

Very good for b̶o̶r̶d̶e̶r̶ ̶s̶k̶i̶r̶m̶i̶s̶h̶e̶s̶ camping, get creative with the straps and the backpack pouch and you can easily use the battle jacket for its intended purpose of i̶l̶l̶e̶g̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶c̶r̶o̶s̶s̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶N̶a̶m̶i̶b̶i̶a̶n̶ ̶b̶o̶r̶d̶e̶r̶ 3 day backpacking trips. Recognizable enough to get some nods on the trail while also not being super flashy 11/10

Bought the 'good' condition and turned out better then expected. Besides some abrasions on one of the magazine pouches it turned better then I thought it would (Thought it would be in worse shape). Other then some dirt marks and the smell which can be cleaned up, overall best purchase made. Also drippy as hell.

Went through what I can only describe as one of the most hostile and rugged fields I've ever been to with this on and it not only held up but performed admirably at the Milsim game I brought it to.

What a solid piece of genuine surplus. Gotta say it's a little pricey given the condition scaling, but the description of each grade is accurate, at least based upon the excellent grade that I purchased. No frays, holes, or noticeable repairs, just a couple of loose strands that I can fix myself. A little graffiti on the main pockets, but it gives the jacket character, so I'm not planning on cleaning it off. Honestly with how the world is these days, grab one while you can, they don't make em like this anymore.
