Repro M-65 Jacket and Pants for under $200 each?
Anyone have any recommendations for generally authentic (doesn't have to be perfectly identical) M-65 pants and jackets for under $200 that are a good quality? I see a number of brands out there on different sites, but returns cam be a pain and I'd like to get something I'm reasonably sure will be what I'm looking for.

Are you open to the real deal or specifically looking at repros?
Open to the real deal, used, you name it. Though I am looking for olive green, not camo.
For the real deal there are tons of original M-65 jackets on ebay for $100 or less, pants for around $100. I don' have firsthand experience but Bronson is often recommended for reproduction. Not sure if they do M65 pants but their jackets are in your budget.

Only thing with Alpha, some of their stuff is slim-fit repro or the like, which can look horrible. (I have an N3 parka from them and wear the hell out of it)
