Experiences with Universal Surplus

Looking at getting one of their French field jackets as an alternative to an M65 type thing: https://universal-surplus.com/collections/jacket-field-jackets/products/m47-hbt-deadstock-french-jacket-1?variant=44496769515807 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

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 :'(

You mean the ones reported on their webpages? Have you tried to ask via email for actual length? Cos I'm considering buying some of their clothes 👀
