[('Choose shell or complete jacket', 'A shell-only listing and a shell with a liner are different purchases. Confirm what is included rather than treating a styled photograph as an inventory of the parcel. Compare the full cost after any missing components.'), ('Use four measurements', 'Request flat chest width, shoulders, sleeve length and back length. Compare them with a jacket you already wear over similar layers. Small Long and Small Regular should not be treated as interchangeable.'), ('Inspect closures and edges', 'Look at cuffs, zipper, snaps, pocket corners and lining. Ask whether photos show the exact jacket. Decide whether repairs suit regular wear or conflict with the kind of example you want for a collection.')]
FOCUSED SHOPPING[('Pick a pattern deliberately', 'DPM and MTP are useful search terms, but the pattern name does not establish military issue or a particular date. Read the listing’s description of the garment and compare label photographs if originality affects your choice.'), ('Compare the garment, not just the label', 'Request chest, sleeve and body measurements. Ask how the seller measured them and whether the garment has been altered. Plan for the layers you intend to wear beneath the smock.'), ('Look at the working details', 'Inspect hood, cuffs, pockets, zipper and drawcords. Confirm whether a hood is present if that matters to you. Check the return policy and shipping cost before buying a size you have not tried.')]
