This is kinda idiotic really. For that price you could get a real WW2 tanker jacket. If the price would have been around 120$ I could see someone buying this.

I purchased an authentic Canadian tank crew jacket (winter) recently. In excellent condition. 65 bucks. Course mine didn't come with a kit.
