My cosplay season approaching

Okay, just in case anyone can help me… for an upcoming costume, I am looking for a WWII – 50’s vintage “Ike” jacket in a size 41 or 42. If possible, the jacket needs to have few or no insignia on it, and the lighter the color the better. Also, I just don’t have tons of folding green on me at the moment, so a nice cheap price is another factor.

I nearly had one on eBay today, but the guy had a reserve listed, and I later discovered I wimped out 5 bucks short of it (but the jacket was sniped at the last second anyway, so I’m sure I wouldn’t have gotten it.)

    Old jackets

    Army/Navy or military consignment store? Roanoke’s got a few; Salem has one on Main Street; don’t know about B-burg.

    Failing that, SW VA has a honkin’ lot of thrift stores…
