Great battle jacket
Lots of pouches, breathable, and very comfortable with lots of history behind it

Louisiana experience
The jacket is pretty comfortable for southern swamp areas of the US, despite the heat build up. The vest was in very good condition, with very little writing and tear on the vest. The only problem I've had is adjusting the front buckles. The straps seem to have been cut to fit whoever wore it before, so I had to slide the buckles as far as I could and tape the remaining strap to prevent the buckles from popping out. (Although I could stand to loose weight instead.) Overall very pleased, and excited to continue the larp!

pretty decent condition
Mine arrived with sone stitchwork done at the shoulders, seems to be the trend with these. Beyond that ive not yet found other usage signs. Overall i like the condition it's in. Id feel confident using this for exercises or the like.
