Never washed they never worn this is a really nice item if you collect Vietnam there are no erdl fuel jackets unless they are custom made and this one is custom-made and the material is ripstop and it looks very good for the colors from the original erdl it's a faithful reproduction of the field jacket with one exception it's only a single ply where is the original fuel jackets have two ply material but this is a big one at the armpits straight across 48 in tagged on the inside of the large also the sleeves from the epileot straight down to the cuff tips measure just under 25 in so it's a long also and it does have that really great hood that also matches if you look online you can see a couple of these right now they're all in the $400 to $500 range mine is brand new I bought it probably seven or eight years ago I guess never used it I did modify it by carefully sewing some original GI buttons into there that are from World War II field jacket and you got a nice liner
