M65 Field Jacket Liner Mod - My objective was a ultra cheap representation of Mont-bell's UL thermawrap/down liner, within my sewing skills (which aren't great). I added a zipper, closed up the armpit openings, added elastic cuffs and an elastic waist drawstring. Total cost $9.77. Size large weighs in at 12oz.

Why the crooked zip? Made this for my bro in laws (Banana Dan and Mighty Mouse) who can't afford the Mont-bell and are V-shaped from the waist up.

    Man, pretty neat! I took one to a local seamstree at a local cleaners. Cost loke $10 to get it fixed up. If I had the montbell i'd be worried 'bout gettin' it damaged n dirty.

    a fld jacket liner is an incredibly cheap way to layer dress...they compress well and are pretty light/semi water repellent too
