Patrick, I have a *Rothko* jacket that I bought NWT. It’s “OK,” but can’t hold a candle to my *Cockpit <https://cockpitusa.com/products/m-65-field-jacket> *M-65, which is made in the USA. Yes, the latter cost me 4X as much as the Rothko, but it’s a lifetime jacket, especially at my age.
Originals are great, IF you can find one and it isn’t too moldy/smelly. Failing that, amortize the cost of a spendy MUSA model, and get a classic.
