Update just got a nice expensive package from La tranchee. Their service has improved since my first order. They seem to be using UPS. My order was place in the middle of the night (their middle of the night) on 3/3/16.. Arrived to day with all tracking sent buy UPS.
Right on time here. I have to say the Veste M47 appears to be the correct one with the flat pockets, not the pleated pockets. Will kep you posted as we go along..

Ok this is what I have found... The earlier m47 without the pleated pocket is avail but you have to order the largest size avail. Otherwise you get the later pleated pockets. Now. that said I could be totally wrong. I ordered the largest size m47 and got the correct pockets. That may not happen for everybody. I am pleased with their service tho expensive. I've got 2 sets of the para modified straps coming from Normandie. plus the strap for the m51. I will review when I try to install. I am working with J. murray 1944 on a regular basis. Great guy. Has lots of my money. Doing the 3rd helmet right now. I might suggest that he install but not sure yet. Finally, Iv'e got 4 pairs of unissued m47 pants that I have to try. Might have some to sell but don't know how they fit yet.
trying to sort out sizes at this point. Ok then, have the different types of ID braclet and neck tag ID's all blank, would probably sell a couple in the rnge of $40. if anyone is interested. The local guy sells the filed out ones for $35.
I'm not a proffiteer. But would help the hobby, message me if interested

I've had good experiences with La Tranchee. For some reason PayPal doesn't like the address on my account. They've been really good about sendin' me PayPal invoices for what I want.

Yeah, they're CS is pretty good, as I've had issues with PayPal and UPS being dickheads. They're shipping charges are outrageous, though.
