Lining is early 43 khaki color, and this time labels are included. M43 jackets are cut very full. DO NOT order a larger size. If you order your normal size you will have plenty of room for layering underneath. M43 jackets are cut very large, just as they were originally issued. Remember you are accustomed to seeing guys wearing original M43 jackets 2-3 sizes smaller than their QM issue size, so if that is the look you want, order a smaller one. M43's are supposed to fit over: Ike jacket, sweater, wool shirt, wool underwear. M43 Jacket Liners are not available anywhere, period. They are quite scarce because few were made, and almost none were issued to troops in Europe during WWII. GI's were expected to wear their Ike jackets and sweaters under the M43 field jacket.
