Original WW2 US Army M41 Combat Jacket - Size 36

An original WW2 US Army M41 Combat Jacket in good, used condition.

Officially designated 'O. D. Cotton Field Jacket M1941', this pattern of jacket saw widespread issue with many types of US Army and US Army Air Force personnel throughout the Second World War. The design is based on a civilian windbreaker style jacket and is made from a khaki tan coloured cotton poplin and features a green wool lining. It retains its original 'Talon' branded zipper which works well and there is a button fly which fastens over this. Slash pockets are located to the front and the rear features a half belt and action back. Epaulettes are located at the shoulders and there are buttoning tabs to each cuff. Inside the jacket the original hanging loop is still present.

The jacket will suit around a 36" chest and when laid flat it measures - 

Chest - 21"
Inside arm - 21 1/2"
Outside arm - 24"
Shoulders - 19"
Length - 25 1/2"

The jacket is in good wearable condition with various signs of age and use. There is some staining and some field repairs to the rear which give it a great 'combat used' look. There are also some holes to the lining which are also illustrated in the pictures and reflected in the price. There is also a small amount of wear to the male side of the zip but it still functions as it should. Please take time to study the pictures and bear in mind that this is a vintage item with some flaws commensurate with age.
