Experiences with Universal Surplus
Looking at getting one of their French field jackets as an alternative to an M65 type thing:

Does anyone have experience with these jackets, or anything stocked by Universal Surplus? What sort of condition do they arrive in?

I have bought from Unviversal-Surplus overall experience was smooth. Delivery costs were a tad high for my expectations for a delivery from France to Germany. But that may be something to expect from smaller stores
Haha that's good to know, given I live on the opposite side of the planet
Condition is really nice
But I’ve found the measurements to be wildly inaccurate at times
I was not outlandish but like 15 Euros
No personal experience but they are run by the same people as Brut Vintage so very good reputation.
I’ve purchased from both Brut/US and been to their shop in Paris. Very well renowned, I consider they and Broadway to be among my fav online shops despite $25 US shipping. DHL is very fast though
What is Broadway referring to? It’s basically un-Googleable
Thanks, good to hear they're quality. Will probably still continue to hem and haw over it for a month since the sleeves seem too short for me :'(

I did't know about this brand but looks really cool. And Brut too
