I'd say you're definitely right, they are not actual m-1943s. For one thing, the combat boots don't have a separate toe piece like his do. I wouldn't be surprised if they made (or at least modified) custom for the movie, but I'm no expert.
I own some boots like in the movie, but not combat boots, rather dress boots with these two buckles, but the color (red brown) is very similar to them...and I shortly thought he is wearing my boots...

I think it looks quite nice, although the color seems a bit too blue and the back isn't pleated like it seems to be in the movie.
Color is tricky, but we can make it any color you like since they are made-to-order. Pretty sure the back is accurate... the picture probably isn't the best representation, but if you think our pattern needs some tweaking, please let me know and it can be revised, if necessary.

I agree. The shoes looks great. I want a pair for everyday use!I'm oddly interested in his shoes, so I did some more digging for photos. Here's some that show some detail. I wonder if I could find a shoe maker to do a run of these...
Anyway, in the pics you can see that the boots are not actual WW2 combat boots, as Egon Spengler suspected. The design of the shoe, and the way the straps attach are very different.
Thanks for pointing that out!The bottom of the coat is skirted, not pleated.
I don't know how she could have achieved the two very distinct different colors if she dyed it. The fibers look exactly the same, and I'm pretty sure it's wool. It's possible they could take the dye differently if they started as different colors, but neither of the colors is particularly dark and they're both pretty vibrant, not muddy. They don't look dyed at all.
The bottom of the coat is skirted, not pleated. It fans out below the waist, which causes it to drape into folds. It's gives the coat a flattering shape and also causes it to swing through the air if the actors spins.
