    State Jacket for Sale or Trade

    Greetings all!

    After marching around and fighting all weekend at Perryville in my jacket I realized that it is just too big for me (I was practically swimming in it and looked like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man). I would like to sell it or trade it for a state jacket of a smaller size (preferably a 42) from a reputable maker.

    This jacket was made in the late 90s by the Mudsills - I was told it was a Wedeward - and is made from Pat Kline blue satinet material. It has a deep exterior left side pocket, quilted breast, eppauletts, and belt loops; a very unique jacket with a rare material. For the past few years it saw service with the AOP, so it has some fading, and was purchased by myself this past spring.

    As I said, I would like to either trade for a size 42 jacket or sell it for $175 which includes shipping. As always, I am willing to negotiate the terms of sale. If interested PM me or send an email to mpc_84@yahoo.com. Pictures can be provided upon request. All sales are final. Thanks for your interest!

    Best,

    Matt,

    Now that is authentic! Remember the army only issued 2 sizes... Too big and too small..
